M51, 200mm Lens, Canon EOS 450d

[Bobby1970]

Only had chance for a quick smash and grab. 

This is made up of 120x 30s subs at iso 800. Light pollution in this direction is pretty bad from my garden and at higher iso and longer exposure it was looking like I wouldn't have anything useful. So I went with what I could get.

Darks and flats also included, processed in Startools

Think I will re visit this with my 72mm scope on the EQ mount.

 

Thanks for looking

Nice widefield shot. It is unusual to see this one in anything other than close-up, so it is nice to see it "in context". Thanks for posting.
