Located in the constellation of Canes Venatici, M51 is one of the most famous spiral galaxies in the sky and together with its neighbour NGC5195, it is also a clear example of galaxy interaction.
The image on the right accumulates "only" 9 hours of exposure.I had planned a much longer exposure time for it, but the continuous bad weather has prevented this so far. As the "galaxy season" is already well advanced, I decided to leave it (at least this year) and to process it.
