Description

Ole Alexander Ødegård continues to encourage me to work on his excellent data, this time on M51 and I have again striven to bring out as much dust and detail as possible. I enclose a close up to show how much detail you can get in 3 hours with a large aperture Newtonean and a full frame DSLR in dark rural Norway.

Equipment: TS 12" Imaging Newtonean (f/4) on a 10 Micron GM2000 HPSII, Canon 6D (modded), 90x120" ISO1600. April 12th 2016.
