5-18-2021 TSS Visual Report of the Day.

"M51, March 11, 2021"

Today we look back to the month of March to highlight an observation of M51 by John Donne through a Skywatcher Evostar 100mm Doublet. Switching between various eyepieces he was able to discern M51 and NGC 5195 its companion galaxy. As you may know, the two galaxies are connected by a "bridge" of softly glowing material which sometimes is visible, particularly with dark enough skies and steady viewing conditions. Right now (mid-May) m51 is in a good location for observation. Congratulations John on winning the TSS VROD for today.
