Description

M51 - The Whirlpool Galaxy - Taken with a small newtonian. I have Imaged this a few timeis before, but I wanted to try my (currently) best scope on it. I got good detail on the stellar stream around the pair of galaxies. Very pleased with the results. I was glad IC 4227 also made an appearance. It's the tiny sliver of a galaxy above and to the left of M51.
