Description

My latest picture of M51 the whirlpool galaxy with NGC 5195 at the background taken in the night of 19th to 20th of April. The SQM was at 2,00 hours 19,6.

Both galaxies are in Canis Venatice .

We can also see also the following background galaxies on the picture:

- IC 4277 (top right) 129 million light years away

- IC4277 95 million light years away

- IC 4278 230 million lightyears away

- IC4282 635 million light years away

The last one is the furthest I have ever seen out of my Bortle 8 Back garden in Haarlem in the Netherlands.

Totally 7 pictures of 8 minutes and 54 pictures of 5 minutes a total of 5,5 hours.
