With the incredibly clear (and rare!) weather here in MI, I was able to
get 80 minutes worth of color (RGB & Ha) to add to my 2 hour luminance
of M51.

Rick,

Your technique and expertise is still top shelf!

Wonderful image!

Still one of my favorites.  Whenever I hear the word Galaxy,  M51 almost always comes to my mind first.

Wow Rick! That's a real beauty. Your core detail is amazing. I hope the weather holds so you can colorize your M81 too!

I can't believe you topped your old shot of this, but you did.

That is fantastic!
