M51 Whirlpool Galaxy - 2009

As I learn new methods it seems that it all becomes more difficult and takes much more time, plus we all have less of it.

That said, I am really getting to spend some sleepless nights at the telescope and I will share with my pals.

1st image... Luminance (B&W).

What I noticed first is NOT the subject of the photo but the galaxies in the background. This is INSANE how much we can see into space...

Colours to come.....

3 x-tra spirals in plain view.

Wow!

More more more!

Adrian Wong · 30th Apr 2009, 11:11 PM

Wow.. Those are really sharp! Really nice work, Ishtim!

Yeah, and just imagine, whatever we see are actually hundreds or thousands of light years away. Those stars and galaxies may not even exist right now.

with RGB frames...

Are they colliding into each other, or are they far apart? (like one behind the other)?

PsYkHoTiK · 11th May 2009, 12:53 AM

I think they are definitely interacting.

Yeah, looks like the bigger one's cannabalizing the smaller one.
