Hi Kathy. A beautiful M51 (Whirlpool) Galaxy from you. Nice sparkly spiral arms and the companion NGC 5194 shows up well too. Thanks for sharing this with us Kathy, and congratulations on winning the TSS APOD Award today.

This is gorgeous, Kathy. I am jealous! I wish mine would come out like this! I love this target and hope I have a chance to shoot it and make it look half as good as this.

Thank you for sharing! Clear skies :)
