Description

Captured M51 this year with the RASA11" in galaxy setup. EFWmini in the front, with LRGBHa filters in it, and the ASI183MM mono cooled camera. Nice to capture galaxies at F/2 , and the small pixels of the 183 work well at 620mm focallength. Lots of small faint galaxies (such as IC4277, just below the left of M51 visible in this frame), sure went deep with the RASA.

Used Cuiv's LRGB workflow, added Ha to R channel for some added definition.

used about 130 lightframes at 60s, 3x30 RGB at 60s and 40 Ha at 60s
