M51... LRGB

This is the best I can do for the data I have. Been at it for days... back and forth, second guessing! How frustrating!!!

M82... Ha/LRGB

Luminance is from both a clear filter and an Ha filter. The jets do not show up for me without the Ha component.

M81... LRBG

Not quite finished this one yet. Not happy with the stars...
