About the image:
Yes, finally a version of M51 I like :D
121x300s RGB - Optolong L-Pro
135x300s Ha - Optolong L-Extreme

My first time editing an image with such a long focal length. The challenge is to get a sharp result, since the magnification makes everything blurry. The Ha data really helped, but the RGB provided enough detail to sharpen without getting too much noise
