M51 – The Whirlpool Galaxy
My second attempt at a galaxy from urban skies. This time I aimed for the whirlpool galaxy. I wanted to add some ha this time. I was excited as the whole night was pretty clear but I had to dump 75 subs due to my eaf being out of focus. In the end I got 2hrs rgb and 2 hrs ha. I’m pleasantly pleased with the result. I know it will only get better from here.
