From last week out in Joshua Tree National Park. Shooting with an 82% moon is not really ideal, but you do what you have to do sometimes. 
This is M51 the Whirlpool Galaxy and also the NGC 5194 galaxy, they are getting a bit too close for comfort here.
It was 2 separate sessions with the L-Pro Filter and then 1 session with the L-Enhance for the Ha signal. So this was more of an exercise in processing data from multiple nights. The image I feel could be better, but practice makes perfect, so this was just more practicing for me.
