Description

Any constructive criticism greatly appreciated.

I'm not very used to imaging galaxies but my new 2550mm f/7.2 might change that. This was an LRGB image comprising of approx:
25x480s Lum
15x480 R,G,B each
25x900s Ha

Used Adam Block's M51 tutorials quite heavily including continuum subtraction for the H alpha.  Frankly, I tore my hair out trying t get it to work but I'm happy with the results apart from the star colours, which I did stretch and process separately. Not sure what went on there
