Description

Two scopes, two cameras, over two nights to capture these two galaxies: M51 and NGC 5195 tugging on each other. 19 hours of integration time using a Celestron Edge HD8 with a ZWO ASI 294MC Pro camera to capture RGB data and a SkyWatcher Esprit 150ED with a ZWO ASI 2600MM Pro camera to capture Luminance and Hydrogen Alpha data. All combined and processed in PixInsight. This is an ideal target from where I live, as it crosses within a few degrees of zenith at this time of year.
