Easily the best image of M51 I’ve seen . This looks very 3D and shows that the smaller galaxy is actually behind the main swirl . Nice 👍 Good , modest colour . Cheer

Just looking into the endless sea of stars in that galaxy makes you wonder what life could look like and how it exists.

I saw M51 last night on a camping trip with my 10x42 monocular.It is pretty easy to pick up in dark skies but obviously all you see is a misty smudge in small instruments.
