Description

M51, The whirlpool galaxy, one of my favorite objects in the sky, I took this pic some weeks after I got my CCD camera (April 2016) and therefore I hadn’t too much experience at that time. Now I’m sure that i can get a much better shot of it and that’s why I decided to photograph this one more time, but right now I only can reprocess the frame that I already have.

In some monitors, stains on the pic can be seen; I wasn’t able to remove them neither with PixInsight nor PS6.

Anyway, I’ll photograph this object again with my Star 71 and my AT6 as soon as it reaches a good position in the sky.
