Description

The very well known M51 galaxy - this time with a very large telescope, located in Spain - an Officina Stellare RC 700 with a FL of 5600mm, equipped with a QHY600M camera with LRGB filters. 248 frames in total (4x62x120" LRGB). Operated is that location by Telescope.Live where I got the raw files from for processing.
