Astrophotography with Glenn Clouder - Imaging M51 Whirlpool Galaxy

I for no real reason shy away from targets that seem to be imaged by most. Bit silly really as now I have finally imaged the Whirlpool properly and can see why it is so popular and glad I joined the masses.
It was while testing my OAG that I recently installed onto my RC8 that I started imaging M51 and now have a video and 12hours of integration time and one of the best images I have produced so far.

This was taken with my Altair RC8 scope at 1625mm
The camera was the ZWO 294mm pro at -10C and Bin 2x2
Image is combined from lights of L Ha R G B
The Mount is an EQ6 R Pro

Processed in Astropixel processor for stacking
Pixingsight and photoshop for post processing
