| M51 or otherwise known as the Whirlpool Galaxy is 37 million light-years from Earth. It was discoverd in 1773 by Charles Messier. This image was my first decent autoguided image. The main camera was a Meade DSI color and the guidescope was a 80mm rich field refractor mounted on the LX200 10" Classic mainscope. The guiding camera was a modified Toucam webcam. |
