Last Friday i tried to capture the Whirlpool Galaxy M51📸

🌌The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) is a spiral galaxy located about 23 million light-years away in Canes Venatici. It spans approximately 60,000 light-years and features prominent spiral arms with active star formation. M51 is interacting with the smaller galaxy NGC 5195, creating stunning tidal features that enhance its visual appeal.

Ars Technica · As NASA faces cuts, China reveals ambitious plans for planetary explorationBy Eric Berger

Gestern Abend war der Himmel wieder ziemlich klar, so dass ich spontan nachgeschaut habe, von welchem Deep-Space-Objekt ich mal eine Aufnahme versuchen könnte. Bei meiner Recherche bin ich auf den Rosettennebel (Caldwell 49) gestoßen, in dessen Zentrum sich der offene Sternhaufen NGC 2244 (Caldwell 50) befindet.
