Hi Richard:
   
  I like your M51 images. Next to M31 it is my favorite galaxy. Hope you are continuing to have clear skies up there. I'm still in Los Angeles (completing my duties as Best Man at my brother's wedding) and tonight has been the first night. I don't have my scope though.
   
  Are you planning on completing the M51 image as an RGB image?

Thanks to Stefan Lilge for showing me NGC3995 recently. I had not seen that one before.
