Description

I did not intend on imaging this object when I went outside. I was going to try and image NGC 2244 the Rosette Nebula. I've never imaged it with my 120mm scope. However clouds and some Bradford Pear trees let me know that I would not be imaging NGC 2244. It appeared that there were no clouds around or near Ursa Major so I chose M51 as a target instead. Please enjoy my most recent image of M51.
