Description

Again, the famous and extremely beautiful galaxy M 51, imaged over 2 nights in May 2024 with my (relatively) new 10" RC.

Despite windy conditions especially during the 2nd night and therefore non-optimal FWHM, there were 180 subs usable (2 min exposure each, = 6 h total). Hope you like it, even if it has been shown so many times...
