Description

Messier 51 - The Whirlpool Galaxy

The image represents my first light for my new ZWO ASI071MC camera. This next gen technology improves on older CMOS cameras with greatly reduced amp glow; no more thermal spikes creeping in from the sides. Captured through heavily light polluted skies with an Optolong CLS-CCD filter for improved target signal.
