One of my favourite beauties in the night sky
 The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) is 31 million light years away and 100,000 light years across. It’s now known that this is actually two galaxies interacting, as you can see. The larger of the two is NGC5194 and the smaller is NGC5195. I already have this one in my gallery, but thought I’d post another as it was taken with a different, more narrow-field telescope, plus it’s a bit better See here….[link]I know it looks a little purple, but found increasing the levels in the red and blue channel revealed more detail!! This was taken in March with a C9 and Canon 350D. 50 images 60 second exposures ISO 1600 Deepsky Stacker for stacking flats, darks, offsets and lights Photoshop for final tweaking Cheers!!!!!  |
