Description

This is a wide field image from my previous recent posting of M51. I included this as a seperate capture to highlight and show the various faint ic's ngc's and galaxies in the image.

I stretched the background out as much as possible to bring out the fainter very small fuzzies.

So how many can you count?

From 30 90 second subs.

I will be doing a 4 hour session run on M51 in 2 to 3 days to add to my data.

NOTE: For astronomers looking at my data for analysis I forgot to mirror the image. The positions won't be technically correct in reference to star chart publications.

I will correct orientation when I finish my 4 hour run in 2 to 3 days.
