The Whirlpool galaxy deserved a better treatment than the one i gave her during the first picture. This photo is at least well guided, but still with some focus problem (it is very difficult to focus when you do not see the object).
I think i am going to use the 2 pictures of M51 to make my first composite and check what i can get.
