Description

The moon was almost full last friday (Feb 18 2022),.

I have had enough of narrowband processing these past weeks and I wanted to go for RGB, so I tried M51.

It is a bright target and I am happy to see what can be done in LRGB beside the full moon.

I let the scope outside capturing all night long, a lot of acquisition time for me:
L: 200x1mn
RGB : 3x50x1mn
Ha : 12x5mn
