Description

This image of Messier 51 The Whirlpool Galaxy was captured on April 30th 2022. I used a Celestron Edge HD 925 with a 0.7 reducer, an ASI 2600MC Pro, no filter and 3:20 total exposure time, with 40 x 300s subs. Conditions were poor, maybe I will get some more data soon. I processed it in SiriL, Starnet and GIMP.
