M51 16.05.20

[Sterrenland]

Despite the forecast not being too encouraging I decided to set up and managed this effort on M51. The sky stayed pretty clear and I only dropped a couple of shots due to some light cloud drifting over.

Quite pleased with the result as it's only my second night out with my new kit, a HEQ5 and SW ED80. I know there's much room for improvement, but it's a start. I find the dust lanes/clouds of M51 quite mesmerising and 3-D.
