Description

This Image shows the beautiful Galaxy M 51 captured by the Hubble Space Telescope with the WFC3. Messier 51 or the Whirlpool Galaxy is a Spiralgalaxy like our Milky Way. To process this Picture i used Pixinsight mainly and did the final touches in Photoshop. For the final result i used the the F435W for the blue channel, the F555W for the green channel and the F814W for the red channel. After that i combined this with the F658N as a Halpha Layer. This is my second edit ever with Pixinsight and i'm pleased with the result but i'm curious what i can do with the data after some time with more experience. 

More Hubble/Webb images will follow due to bad weather I can't take pictures on my own with my new Setup. Hopefully this will change soon.

In the meantime I hope you enjoy this Image of the Whirlpool Galaxy!

Thanks and CS!
