      Description

      Here we have my widefield take on M51 - Needs to be viewed full size or cropped to see all the detail

      I reused some public data from cicciobocc used on a previous image and some data available from the LIverpool telescope to enhance the detail in M51 in this widefield DSW data. Hope you like, took quite some time to put all together and get the detail.

      Gear = As above plus cicciobocc and liverpool telescope data

      Rev A - Full Widefeild

      Rev B - A Crop to show more M51 detail

      Rev C - A tight crop that shows the detail - think it just about holds out at this zoom
