M51 - The Whirlpool Galaxy

It's been a long time since I've shot this one At least 15 years. So I decided to have another go at it the other night. I had guiding issues that caused me to dump half my images. I'm sure there's better processing to be done on this and can provide the raw Fits From APP or the XISF from Pixinsight if anyone is willing to give it try.

Austin, Texas Blue Hour

Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.

Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!

Any interest in this group?

Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?
