Description

My third go at M101 Pinwheel galaxy 

At just short of 19 hours I think this is my longest integration so far 

Ha 840 x 300s = 7 hrs (during full moon period)
Lume 840 x 30 = 7 hrs 
Red 230 x 30 = 1.92 hrs 
Green 178 x 30 = 1.48 hrs
189 x 30 = 1.58 hrs
= 18.98 hrs 

Taken over 5 nights in March 22

All three goes have been with my Orion first one using my DSLR and last two with my ZWO ASI 1600 MM etc , first two were less than 2 hrs each 

This is the best one but ...

Stars are terrible - collimation was off maybe ? Bad coma even though coma corrector in place. Really bad gradients due to light pollution so processing was a real pain .
