M82 final - Calibrated with darks only, prostprocessed with Siril

M51 Light frames stacked and calibrated with Darks and Flats using Siril. Just Autostretching, but no further processing.

Final Image of M51. 179 Frames with 30s exposure, makes a total of 89.5min exposure time. Gain 100 Postprosessing Workflow in Siril: - Removal of satellite Frames - Calibration with Darks and Flats - Registering - Removal of worst FWHM Frames - total of 179 frames out of 197 Frames to be processed - Debayering - Stacking - Photometric Color Correction - Background Extraction - Stretching using ASinH Algorithm - Slight Saturation enhancement

M101, stacked with Siril, autostreched, no further processing 345 Light Frames with 30s Exposure => 2h 52,5min total Exposure

Final Image of M101. 345 Frames with 30s exposure, makes a total of 172.5min (2h 52.5 min) exposure time. Gain 100 Postprosessing Workflow in Siril: - Removal of satellite Frames - Calibration with Darks and Flats - Registering - Removal of worst FWHM Frames - total of 345 frames to be processed - Debayering - Stacking - Photometric Color Correction - Background Extraction - Stretching using ASinH Algorithm - Slight Saturation enhancement
