Description

I had one clear night back in April to try the Whirlpool galaxy, which I have never imaged before. Seeing was quite bad and it was windy, but a little help from Blur XTerminator got me something I think is reasonable. I believe I've now got at least one image of all of the galaxies that are big enough to get good resolution at 380mm focal length.
