This was the first go at this object. Various problems including wind and a slipping clutch on the telescope worked hard against us, so it was most pleasing to get a result of any sort! This shows the large M51, and the smaller NGC5195 in the bottom left. The two galaxies are busily embroiled in a game of cosmic bumper cars... no prizes for guessing who is probably going to win!
