Description: Went back and tried a bunch of revisions, over and over again, comparing it to some of the superb M51 pics on Astrobin. Although this one doesn't live up to them, I'm hoping this came out better. Feedback welcome.

Description: Was never happy with this one. Hope this is better. Toned it down, sharpened it, brought out some more detail, teased out some color.
