The result of 2 galaxies colliding roughly 31 MLy away…very small faint galaxies can be seen in the bottom right and the top left of m51.

I spent 10 hours capturing long exposure photos and stacking them together to give the final result you see here. I used an inexpensive small smart telescope. My favourite target and my best work since starting this hobby. Thanks for looking!

  2. That is beautiful! And from your garden?!
    May I ask if this is achievable from a city suburb? Also please share a link of your telescope 🙏

  3. this is amazing… im at a loss for words not gonna lie. the fact that 1 person can achieve this in their backyard is crazy to me.
