Description

Messier 51

A quick grab of M51 between the clouds. I had issues with my luminance subframes that left some large 'donuts' in there. I've done my best to process them out, but it that had not happened I suspect the image would have been much better. I also had some issues with guiding that seemed to mess with my star shape a little. I still think this is nice image though.
