M51 Widefield (with special guest IC4285)

[ParallaxPete]

Another reprocess using BlurXT. I like going back and reprocessing older images when a new tool comes out as you quite often discover something new. I uploaded this revised M51 image to Astrobin and the automated platesolver picked up IC4285 which I hadn't seen in previous revisions. I'm sure this won't be anything special to more experienced imagers but I was pleased as it's probably the most distant object I've captured so far at just over 1 billion light years. Once again I used my Esprit 100 and ASI2600MC.
