New scope first light M51

Hi all,
Here is a first light image from my new scope,a Vixen VC200L.
The collimation needs a little bit of a tweak but so far I like it!

This is a LRGB of M51.
Shot with excellent seeing and transparency for a change
Here are the details
L-480sx10 RGB 360sx8 each binned 1x1
Shot at 1206mm F6 using an AP 0.67x reducer

Images Plus for calibration,alignment and stacking.Photoshop for everything else.

Thanks for looking and your comments help me improve!

That is a great image Jason! I love the little star spikes from the VC200L, that is one excellent imaging scope! and really awesome detail and color on M51. Tom

Jason,

Great image! Congrats on first light! Looks like you got a winner there! I don't even see the need for collimation tweaking.

That's really well done, Jason, there's color in the stars and dust around the galaxy.
What camera were you using?
