Description

The famous M51 again. With 10-15 hours a month with clear skies, i decided to revisit M51 to see what a modern camera can do compared to my old EOS40D.  The result is of course much better, but the 40D isn't that bad..I used drizzle x2 , and my processing was bent on getting as many details as possible without over-sharpening.
