	M-51 - Whirlpool Galaxy, 8.1 mag, Con Cvn Spiral galaxy structure attached companion
	This is a latest attempt on M-51 taken in Leakey, Texas on 03/25/2006. The seeing was not ver stable this evening, and it kept getting cold and warm. (Not to mention I got disconnected from the electricity for awhile and didn't know it. The image consist of L = 10 each 300 seconds exposures, R = 6 each 300 seconds exposures, G = 6 each 300 second exposures, & B = 6 each 300 seconds exposures. The imaged for first processed in MaxIn DL and final processing in Photoshop.
