M61 Galaxy Image acquired with a ST2000 mono camera using Astronomix filters. Luminance was approximately 10x10 min binned 1x1 while the RGB channels were each 7x5 min binned 2x2. Software was CCDSoft, CCDStack and Photoshop CS6. This was a difficult image which typically means it needed more exposure time and was likely overprocessed.
