Description

M51 was my first object taken with my new STF-8300m camera. This is an overly stretched portion of the luminosity channel that shows some of the very faint nearby galaxies. NGC 5195 is interacting with M51 and is bright at magnitude 10.5. IC 4263 is magnitude 15.3. Not plate solved but present below NGC 5195 is IC 4278, It is magnitude 17.4. Also present is an even fainter edge on galaxy. I have been unable to find out what it is called.
