Description

I got a couple of good days last Easter, with great transparency and seeing, albeit the Moon.

I've tried N.I.N.A. and got really satisfied with it and the tracking with PHD2 (multistar autoguiding) got down to 0,51"! A record for me!

This M51 was taken in a rural area with just L-filter in front of the 268C. 22 frames at 300sec are little to what I see in Astrobin, but got really surprised with the final result!

Still have to improve my postprocessing skills. (Mirek, thanks for giving me ideas! )

Hope you like it!
