Description

This is an experimental image. To find out how far I can go to demonstrate the tidal streams around M 51 and the cloudy IFN (?) that is present in that region I performed some exotic layer combinations in PS. I was surprised about the extension of the tidal streams and the prominence of cloudy nebula structures around.

The image is made from a superluminance file that was integrated from ca. 60.000s of LRGB data caught with my ASI1600mmp and ASI2600mmp in 2020 and 2021.
