Description

This submission is one of the famous interacting galaxy -- The Whirlpool Galaxy M51 with its companion NGC5195,  a unique object for me. This image is the first light of my newly bought ES 12'' RC and takes me  a lot of time  to acquire enough data in the past 3 months, now it finally came out with a total integration of 34 hours. The image is 150% of its original scale.
Hope you enjoy it!
