Kyle Allen Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 After a miserable wet day yesterday, the sky cleared in the evening and stayed clear despite the weather forecasts saying it would be cloudy. I decided to image M51 because I already had some data from it from a few weeks ago but not enough to produce a nice image. I used a William Optics Zenithstar 61 on a Star Adventurer mount. In total it is 112 x 60 second exposures (1 hour 52 minutes) taken with a Canon EOS 100D over two nights. Thanks for looking. 😀 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinB Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 That's a very nice wide field M51 Kyle. A nice set up for getting out quickly to make good use of any gaps in the cloud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Allen Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Thanks Martin. It's great being able to carry everything outside in one go and not having to worry about it taking ages to take down if it clouds over or starts raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultranova Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Nicely done, taking advantage of a clear patch has certainly paid off, A great result with some nice detail starting to pop through on m51 well done. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
