Description

After 2 years of astrophotography, I went back to M51 to try again. My first attempt in my first couple months of this hobby was composed of some 20 minutes of data with no dithering. This version is a much better attempt. Although it is a huge improvement, I am still not happy with the final version yet. I'll need more data under darker skies.
