Description

This image of the Whirlpool Galaxy Messier 51/ NGC5195 is the result of a project undertaken by the Plymouth (Michigan) Astrophotography Club in May 2022. Images were acquired by four members of the club: Paul Goelz, Awni Hafedh, Gordon Hansen, Sean Pickard, and Mike Rousseau. The data was collected using each of the members equipment. Five different telescopes, four unique cameras, from five locations: four in the Detroit area and one in the northern part of Michigan's lower peninsula. A total of 35 hours of LRGB plus 2 hours of H-alpha integration time was accumulated. Three of the cameras were single shot color and one monochrome (H-alpha only). The data was processed by Gordon Hansen.
