Hi all. I finally got around to a little astro work and I decided to do a wide angle of M51. Here is the luminance data. It was 10x5min.
Cheers,
Tyler

Did you say, "Luminance?" That's so clear I can swear I see colors! It really is stunning just as it is. Your resolution and fine detail on the galaxy for such a wide field is positively amazing.

Hi Tyler!

Great shot! With a little DDP, I'm sure you'll be able to bring out dust lanes in the core of the galaxy!
