Description

M 51 - the wonderful "Whirlpool Galaxy", Zwicky 6057 and other friends (HaRGB)

Zwicky 6057 is a lovely galaxy cluster located 2.3 billion (!) light years away (visually below the bright blue star HD117815).

In these nights I cooled the camera down to an average of about -14 °C / 6.8 °F.

Please take a look at the widefield image ("Original"), too.

Hope you like it.
