Hi all. I added some additional luminance and color to the M8 luminance data from a few nights back, and here is the result.
It is approx 60 minutes L and 24 minutes each of RGB. It was taken with my Tak E160 on a G-11 with an ST2000XM with Astrodons.
Cheers,
Tyler

Tyler,

I like it, and yet I really like the visual impact the luminance-only data gives this object. Keep both!
