Description

My first multi-night project: The iconic M51 galaxy pair NGC 5195 and the smaller NGC 5194. Data collected on the two consecutive nights of April 20th and 21st 2022. I've stepped the exposure up to 5 minutes per sub, and stacked 58 of the best for a total of 4 hours and 50 minutes exposure time. Final edit in Affinity Photo.
