Whirlpool Galaxy | Messier 51

M51 is a spiral galaxy that is especially unique because it is interacting with a smaller galaxy it known as M51b.

I used my new Astromodified Canon EOS 700D equipped with a 90-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Canon EF lens.

I shot this image at 300mm at f/5.6 and each sub frame was 1”

Total Integration Time: 1hour 50minutes
