Hi all,

Here is an image I made of M51 shot over 4 days, total of 4 hours of subs. I'm not sure what the two very poorly placed artifacts are, but I'll check each frame to see. This was processed as one shot colour with CCDStack 1.3 beta. Next I'm going to process each of the RGB frames as I have in the past to see if there are differences. Sure wish I had better seeing/darker skies in my back yard....oh and it's over 100 degrees today too. **Grin**

Looking good my friend, looking good! nice colors & detail!

Next thing would probably be "framing" and "larger scale"... but you are moving along pretty quick!

Looking forward to your next shots!

Keep'em coming! 8)

Looking good Paul!
Those artifacts are strange,not sure what to make of them.
They sure could have picked somewhere else though!
