Astrophoto of M51 – Whirlpool Galaxy (LRVB) by Elodie

I was beginning to despair of ever finishing this big session!

Nothing but problems all the way (bad flats, terrible PL…) but I got through it.

Admittedly, the treatment is a bit harsh, but in the end I like it 🙂

I would have learned a lot from this session, and that’s what I’ll remember!
