Well, I have been following this group for a couple of years now, and have been refining my imaging and processing techniques. I am finally to a point where I am comfortable posting my images. So here is a first posting.
M-51
Lum 20@5 minutes
RGB 3ea@5 minutes (I know I need more color data.)
Imaged using:
ST2000XM/CFW8a/Astrodon LRGB E-series filter (again, I know I should be using the I-series filters, and have just installed them today..)
Alter MN74 Russian Mak-Newt
Losmandy G-11 Gemini Mounted in an observatory.
MaximDL for imaging.
MaximDL for Dark/Flat/Bias Processing and Combining.
PhotoshopCS for Detail processing.
Comments and suggestions are very welcome.
You can see my efforts to this point on my website.
