Description

—————————————First M51 —————————————

Due to isolation caused by Covid-19 pandemic, I have some time shooting at some deep Sky objects. This is my first attempt for the Whirpool Galaxy.

Here is the result for my first try. This is a combination of more than 5 hours (52x6 min exposure), at 400ISO with my non-modified DSLR camera (EOS 100d).

I dedicate this image to all health professionals in France who are fighting this pandemic.

Enjoy & Clear skies
