Description

This one was quite a challenge at 5º Altitude - had to lift "southern" feet of my Dob so it would go below 6 degrees . Not the most spectacular image of M51 but it was cool to get it from 37ºS.

Part of Image Series of Messier objects from Southern Hemisphere with 22" f/3.6 Dob and Sony A7S

The goal is to produce images which are close to the view through an eyepiece
