Messier Object 51 (M51) (NGC 5194)





This is a reprocessed image of the one above. I captured some Flat fields and Bias frames and used them in the advanced calibration option. There was not much processing done on the image. I performed a Gamma Scaling during the Stacking process after which I performed a Brightness adjustment using PhotoShop.
