m81 reworked...

Well, I decided not to get anymore exposure time on m81; I decided to work in some old data I had taken with my 11" I used to have... Thank god for Registar; the 11" data I blended in was the bulk of the core; a little of the arms were chopped off. This boosted my s/n a lot more, and a little creative layer masking to blend it in let me push it a lot more. I think I like this one much better.

That's a stunning image. There is such depth and color to this image that I feel like I'm inside of it.

The color on this version looks much more accurate. Nice work overall.

Andrew,

Your imaging in general is awesome! Some of the best images I've seen on AM. I love this version of M81 as it has rich detail and excellent color. Now only if I can take images like this....
