Description

My whirlpool project is growing! Two weeks ago the first clear weather period since 6 months was exactly at waxing moon, and all winter objects were disappearing. So I decided to direct my 8 inch reflector to the few objects with at least a little narrowband portion, e.g. M51 and M82. It was quite surprising how many Ha regions in M51 popped up! Here I'd like to present the combination of my M51 RGB exposure from last year and the latest Ha exposure to you. As always without guiding...

Enjoy!
