Description

M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy is one of the very often imaged galaxies, so not much needs to be explained. Why did I shoot this target again - I like it and I wanted to demonstrate, that with a RASA11 at f/2.2 and an ASI183MC with its tiny pixels and small chip, one can shoot even small target already at 600mm FL. It is definitely nothing spectacular but nice, I think
