Just another M51 and companion galaxy NGC 5195. The grand spiral M51 lies perhaps 25 million light years from here. M51 appears to be quite a bit smaller than our own galaxy. The companion, NGC 5195, is interacting with M51. These two always amaze visually as well.
This image is 26x480" with the SXVF-H9 through CFF 290 Classical Cassegrain at f/8.1 and an Astronomik CLS filter.
