Description

Had the chance to take both the L-Extreme and the ASKAR Duo for a test ride and give the very little dark sky I had available I concentrated on easy targets, one of which was the Whirlpool Galaxy in Canes Venatici. As RGB backbone I used the previous data I had with the same sensor (which can be seen here: M51 RGB (OSC) ( andrea tasselli ) - AstroBin) at about the same scale.I fiddle a bit with the best way to merge both data stream and after a couple of false starts I ended up with this image, hwich I find rather appealing.
