Description

Here is my latest picture , it is M51 also called whirlpool galaxy.

I acuired around 90-100 subframes with my GSO 8” f4 and DSLR Canon 1000d. One single Sub is 300 seconds , guided with PHD2. From those I chose 80.

I always have big problems with deconvolution, so I usually don’t do it, this time though I asked for processing help , thanks to Frank Schmitz.

, he processed my datas while I still am figuring out how to get the deconvolution working. I always have some black rings left that I can’t get rid of.

Thank you frank for your help and enjoy watching this version of M51.

Regards Dennis
