Hi Shane,

Thanks for the image and video link.

The image of M51 is a beauty. Had the pleasure of looking at this object
from a dark sky locale at +33 26' North latitude through 36" of aperture
courtesy of Larry Mitchell. At those latitudes in that much aperture,
you can put aside the camera and let the eyeball take in the extraodinary
detail.

The time lapse was fantastic!
