------------------

I reworked the totally my process and the MIX between LRGB and Halpha, to submit a new version of this famous M51.

Exposure : 11hours 15min for LRGB and 10hours 05min for Halpha .

I processed the subs and the image with the same method use for M101 my previous image.

For the Light , I selected around 30% of the best Fwhm subs and combined them with all the subs to get sharper details ands smaller stars.

I started with 3 nights : 05, 06, and 08 of February, but I was not happy with the background noise, so I almost double the number of subs , the 23, 24 and 25 of February ...

Red 32 subs@180s -20°C gain 139

Blue 30 subs@180s -20°C gain 139

Green 29 subs@180s -20°C gain 139

Light 134 subs@180s -20°C, gain 139 and zero

Halpha 121subs@180s -20°C gain 139

Tell me what you think of this new version ?
