Description

M51 from data captured over the last two months between rainy spells. I had some challenges with my flats (need to do a better job getting good flats) that left some gradients that I have probably overcompensated for here and clipped the image a bit. I will be trying to get some new flats taken and recalibrate but thought I would pop this version up anyway.
