It's with great pleasure & honor that I can show this color image of M82 on my astrobin account.
The raw data come from Mr. Morten la Cour & was taken in his own observatorie that is placed in the Northern part of Sjælland, DK, Halsnæs.
Data from spring 2019 and fall 2018.
The exposure details were like this: 187x300s Ha, 122x600s Ha, 178x300s R, 75x300s B, 72x300s G
RGB subs are all with a FWHM below 2"and Ha FWHM was below 2,25".
A small amout of 10 sec RGB subs was also stacked and used in the shown picture.
Morten's astro EQ: Telescope 300mm f/3.7 newt incl. TS wynne corrector. Camera qsi660 with astrodon filters. Mount ap1600gto.
The picture processing part, for this picture, is a 50/50 % mix (opacity settings in PS) between a processing effort done by Morten (MaxIM DL=>Stacks/PixInsight) and my own processing effort done 100 % in PS & CCDStack2 (got stacks from Morten) where I also did some stars & galaxy interior adjustments.
Please check this link, that show Morten's own processed version of his great M82 raw data,
