M51

[saturn5]

Weeks of endless cloudy nights and up pops a clear one,set up for an hours worth of subs,went inside and came out about 30mins later to a lovely thick fog so as this is about the only thing i've photographed other than the moon since the turn of the year here is my modest effort.

Don't be so harsh on yourself thats a great M51.

Are those spikes real or computer'd

[steppenwolf]

I like it, I think that widefield galaxy images show them at there best - in context with their surroundings

[jgs001]

Looks very nice indeed. I'd be happy getting something like that, and for only 30 minutes as well.

Nice One S5...

My Fav sort of shot ... although at the moment anything would re-float my boat....

I'm going to start taking cloud photos again...

Good effort S5, I like that alot, you must feel good about shooting the stars again?

There's bound to be more clear nights, surely ???
