I can't do X-ray, and I don't have a space telescope, but I did image M51 in visible light last month. Just need to add some hydrogen alpha data to it to really pull out those gorgeous red nebulae like in the Hubble image which forms the "base" of the APOD picture.

What part of the sky is this? What are some near stars or planets?

I used to dabble w/ a 12” but never came close to that.
