Description

M51 shot from a Bortle 3 dark sky site in the Michigan Thumb. Color data gathered with an FLT 91 and Luminance with an FLT 132. I used Ha data to enhance the red - this was taken in my back yard. The FLT 132 was attached to my ASI 6200 MM and the FLT 91 my ASI 2600 MM. Both scopes were on my CEM 70 from iOptron.

Luminance 29 by 300 s FLT 132 f7
RGB each 12 by 300 s FLT 91 f5
Ha 18 by 600 s FLT 132 f7
