Here is my 2nd photo from TSP - M51 The Whirlpool Galaxy located in the constellation Canes Venatici just off the end of the handle of the Big Dipper. NGC 5195, The small yellowish galaxy at the outermost tip of one of the arms is actually passing behind M51 and has been doing so for hundreds of millions of years.
This photo is a combination of 46 120 second photos.
This image was captured with a Celestron 11" Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope with a 6.3 focal reducer and a modified Canon 60D camera on the morning of May 10th.
