M51 – The Whirlpool Galaxy – 4/27/2009

I took this image of M51 the Whirlpool Galaxy on 4/27/2009. It is a single 2 minute prime focus image.

M51 - Whirlpool Galaxy - Prime Focus - 2 Minutes ISO 800

I wish I had been able to get a few more. I took several other images that have things (satellites, meteors, plane, ???) streaking through them.

M51 with Flyby - Not sure what it is though

And here is another one, hard to see but the streak is just to the right of it.

M51 - Something Flying by ???
