M 51 LRGB SPA-2
I was excited to see that the SPA-2 is back up and running with the new QHY 600M CMOS camera, so I quickly processed the M 51 data I downloaded tonight. I was very pleased to see the quality of this data set, and for just a quick process...I think it came out pretty good. I'm looking forward to more data from this extremely nice scope/camera!!
Hope ya like it!
