Description

This image consist of the 180sec. sub portion of my current M101 project. I have both 300 and 180sec subs going in
the image. So far almost 20 hrs total and counting as I type!

Processing of this galaxy(as most smaller galaxy) is a NIGHTMARE!Many many areas of failure. The color I just can't seem to get right. The "natural" colors do not resemble any of the main catalogued images of M101. I had some gradients due to light pollution that were mostly cropped out and why its such a small image. I work images as I'm collecting data to have multiple runs as the image progresses and evolves. I find it helps with the details. Now if I can just get what's on image and in my head on screen!
