Description

Here I present my first M51.

Why I haven't recorded this megastar among the DSO's yet, I don't know either.

NOW it served me "only" as a placeholder until my actual target had risen above the neighboring houses.

That's why I only got 80 pictures, which you can clearly see in the noise. I didn't get the sharpness that well. Apparently the Bathinov mask did not fit correctly, or I got some temperature shifting afterwards.

I usually try to stay off the beaten track, but I will probably pay M51 another visit.
