Description

Normally I wouldn't upload this, but it's actually a bit impressive to me how much data I was able to soak up in such a short amount of time!    The OGMA AP26CC combined with the Nexus Coma Corrector really sucked up the photons!  Definitely the shortest integration I've ever shared, but it goes to show the power of a fast focal ratio.    Since Whirlpool is such an over-photographed target, I don't really plan on spending more time on it.   Enjoy!
