I seems like every spring somehowe I have to photograph M 51. Probably because it's one of the most beautifull objects in the northern sky. These are two colliding galaxies. This object lies at a distance of 23 million lightyears. Also note several tiny galaxies laying at even greater distances. This image is a stack of 30 frames with an exposure time of 4 minutes each. Canon 400D (Baader mod.) at ISO1600). 8" Skywatcher Newton on an EQ6 Syntrek.
