Certainly one of my favorites Dan and your image of it is just beautiful! Made me look like this 8O grin

Incredible amount of details you captured in it.

M81

Posted By Jason Boyce

Hi Paul,
Thats a good start!
I shot this awhile back and boy,did I have a hard time trying to process it.I think it is a tough one.

I also used to use the 2000xcm and found for faint stuff that 15-20 minute subs worked well.I also used an IDAS lps for IR blocking,it worked well.

M3 - First light LRGB

Posted By Jason Boyce

Wow! that looks great.Nice and flat all the way to the corners.
With that FOV and your excellent processing it has a very 3d effect.

Great first light,

the wale SXV H16 vs SXV M25C

Posted By Jason Boyce

A very interesting comparison,other than image scale I see very little difference as far as details go.I think I actually prefer the psuedoluminance or maybe it is the image scale I prefer,hard to decide because they are both great grin

Your final result is just marvelous!Destined for another pic of the day no doubt!

Keep up the great work so I can keep enjoying looking at it grin
