Description

This is a crop of a widefield image showing whirlpool I captured in spring 2016. It was quite hard to stack over 800 frames with an 9 year old Acer Extensa Notebook, so I decided to skip the surrounding regions of M51. Maybe I'll include them in the future...

Low cost to the extreme! ;-)

Enjoy it!

Edit: the whole widefield is now here:
