Hi all:

Here is a M 81 combining data from last year plus supplemental color data taken this weekend. I have about 2 hours L and an hour each RGB into this now. All done with 5 minute subs. 2x2 binning on the color.

Any comments are always much appreciated!

Wonderful!
I'm a big fan of natural processing and this is deftly done.
Very impressive, Jim.

Jim,

Wow! You did very well with what these days pass off as short exposure times! This is an image to be proud of!

That is a superb image.Excellent job on the processing!
