I decided that 25.5 hours was finally enough for this wider shot of the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51). I shot it in both LRGB & HaLRGB. I also included a tighter crop that looks surprisingly sharp since it was taken with a 400mm focal length telescope.

Hannah started the last main section of the #tattoo sleeve. That's the #whirlpoolgalaxy, #ursamajor done as a mammoth, #leo, #orion, #taurus, and the #pleiades. It is only five days in, so it's still healing and peeling. Much of the coloring and shading is also yet to be finished.
New Astro Video up on Youtube! Let's talk about capturing galaxies millions of lightyears away and have fun doing it!

Back again to #messier51 #WhirlpoolGalaxy. I used to sketch this and would be pleased to catch just the hint of a spiral arm. 7 years later and using the same scope but with a camera and less that 60 mins on the target, I am amazed what technology can now show... #astronomy #astrophotography
Happy with this shot from this morning at 4:30am. The Whirlpool Galaxy, M51 and it's companion galaxy, NGC 5195.
Only shot for an hour and a half with some dropped frames. Still, not bad.

The whirlpool galaxy. I took this in the North York Moors, an International Darksky reserve. The whirlpool galaxy is actually two galaxy's that are slowly entwining themselves. Oh, & they're 31 million lightyears away...

A stunning false-color image of the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) and its companion galaxy NGC 5195. Combined X-ray data from the Chandra Observatory (purple) and visible light from the Hubble Space Telescope reveal hundreds of bright X-ray sources, likely neutron star and black hole binaries, indicating intense star formation. Diffuse X-ray emission (purple) shows multi-million-degree gas heated by supernova explosions.
