About this image

Here's another attempt at M51 with my ASI294MC one shot colour camera at 0.66 arcsec/pix with 60s subs. The seeing was better than a few days ago so the stars are tighter and there is quite a bit of detail visible in the galaxy although I do need to get my denoising sorted out. I'll be going back to a mono camera soon but it is quite fun doing colour.
