One of my favorite targets imaged for the first time with my Celestron telescope and the Optolong L-eXtreme filter.
⭐ M51: The Whirlpool Up Close
One-shot color with a light pollution filter was combined with narrowband images to create this capture. It is my most detailed M51 and I believe it captures the delicate and complex beauty of this pair of galaxies.
⭐ M51: The Grand Spiral Eater
A stellar example of a grand-design galaxy, the whirlpool is tugging on its distant companion, the yellow NGC5195, and the resulting tidal forces may be creating new stars.
