Description

***** ENG: M51 luminance taken with CCD to blend data with the color from my image 999833. Because of clouds in the second part of the night, only 2:20h of data, but the result seems good to me. Data "fusion", as always, by the great Edoardo Radice. Both luminance only and luminance + color images are available. As far as I know, this is one of the best M51 taken from an open field I have ever seen, even if the exposure is limited.

SQM 21,3-21,4 - Bortle 3

***** ITA: Luminanza di M51 ripresa con CCD per "fondere" poi i dati con il colore della mia immagine 999833. Causa nubi da una certa ora in poi solo 2:20h di dati, ma il risultato non mi sembra male. La fusione dei dati colore è del solito bravissimo Edoardo Radice. L'immagine "originale" è solo luminanza, la "B" è fusa col colore. Nonostante la posa tutto sommato modesta non ho visto in giro M51 molto migliori riprese da postazioni itineranti.
