Hi,

Here's a cropped full resolution image of m51. Taken with a Vixen VC200L at f9 and a st10xme. 2 hr exposure with 10 min subs.

Processing done in MaximDL ver 4 with some additional unsharpmasking in PaintShopPro.

clear skies,

Larry Citro

Very nice, Larry! Was this shot binned or not? Do you use an AO-7 for your images?

Hi Larry,

A beautiful shot with lots of detail in the structure. Would very short exposure combined with your images resolve the core more or is this expecting too much for a B&W image?
