Whirlpool Galaxy M51


Just before Moonrise I took some pictures of the Whirlpool Galaxy Messier M51. This galaxy is located in Canes Venatici and about 23 million lightyears from Earth.
Pictures taken with Nikon D7500 and TAL200K f/8.5 and setting ISO6400 21x60s (total exposure 21minutes). The mount was connected with Stellarium and camera connected with DigiCamControl Software. Raw pictures converted to DNG and stacking using DeepSkyStacker. Final editing with CS4.
