Messier 61

Hi All

To my surprise there was no wind and no cloud, at least for a few hours last night, so I went out to the obs before the moon rose.
This is a spiral galaxy and a few of it's friends. I would have got more exposures but the clouds and the moon raised their ugly heads.

6x600sec + 1x376sec @ -10 Total = 1 hour 6 mins 16 sec
