AstronomyUkraine Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 This is an HaLRGB image of M94. Overall the image is not too bad, but a lot more data is needed to bring out the halo around the galaxy.Brian 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAR Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 A good start Brian, looks like a lot more and possibly longer exposures needed for the outer halo but they'll probably blow out the core. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I can always take longer exposures and merge them in Pixinsight with shorter exposures.Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter shah Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 lovely colour in the core....the outer halo is coming through very nicely too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevS Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 That's a very nice image, I am working my way through the M. Catalogue. However I regard myself as a collector of images rather than a astro-photographer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a few more hours of Lum would bring out the halo quite nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstronomyUkraine Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Posted by: @Gina Nice start and well done to capture anything this winter!!! Thanks Gina. It hasn't been a great winter, in fact it just got worse. I now have 4" of snow on the ground, and more to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I regard myself as a collector of images rather than a astro-photographer. Thanks Kev. I would like to do that, but from my location it is impossible. I have a nice view of 50 meter tall trees in my garden to the South. I keep giving my wife subtle hints about chopping them down, but to no avail.
