Comment: Another Attempt for M051 Whirlpool galaxy. It came out little better than the last time. Again 40 frames but 20sec each an by hand controllor was about to die! Because of little late at night and some of the town lights were turned off, the sky was little darker to get a better contrast at 20sec exposure rather than 30 sec. Camera MX516 on C8N-CG5, unguided. Taken early morning of 6/10/2007.
