Description

M51, and my first serious attempt at using Pixinsight. I am starting to get the hang of it. Just some very minor cosmetic adjustments in Photoshop, which is what I usually use for the whole thing.
This is done only at 680mm with a 320mm refractor. Not the ideal setup for this object. So it is quite a big crop from the ZWO 2600 sensor. Still I think it is presentable here.
