I shot this of M51 or the Whirlpool Galaxy. It 's a series of 26 exposures x50 second each, calibrated stacked, combined and processed into one image. I needed more data though, as it should have been about 150 x1.5 minute exposures, to get more image data. M51 is about 35 million or so light years from earth. I find galaxies quite fascinating and love visiting them.
