M51

[jaygpoo]

So 2yrs ago using a skymax 127 I took my only image of M51 with a cannon D500. It was the only time it had been in my limited area of seeing in my garden. 2 yrs on and with completely different equipment and software I had another chance to take it again. Freezing cold so only took 25 180sec exposures and with my limited software experience I offer the 2 images side by side .
