Great shot - I'm really struggling to find m51, probably a combination of it being almost straight overhead and me having no idea how to use my new equatorial mount!

Rusty, maybe, but you still got a lot of the faint halo around the galaxy

That's stunning image you have there, I also have the same set up, did you use a reducer ?

 

What processing software did you use
