Description

I've been looking forward to going after M51 for a while now. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get as much data as I wanted. I had a bad run of clouds and on the clear nights I developed a hardware issue that prevented more shooting.

The good news is, the data I had was at least enough to satisfy my requirements, and in the end I am pretty happy with this image.
