M51 the Whirlpool Galaxy

After a long spell of clouds of rain, on sunday evening I took advantage of a few clear hours to get some more data on M51. This image is a combination of raw images from April 20th and May 10th. The total exposure time is now at 64 minutes.

32x120s, Nikon D7000, ISO1600, 127mm f/8 refractor

This is a single 120s exposure with a satellite trail:
