[1] Whirlpool M51

This is one of the images I made last week while using the remote control telescope in Italy during my 100 hours of astronomy.  (Scroll down to the post titled “Backseat Driving” for complete details on that experience.)

This image was two minutes, with no dark frame subtracted.  It’s rough, but considering I was sitting in my living room dinking with a telescope in Italy to make this- I think it’s pretty darn cool!
