This deep-field integration of Messier 51, also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy, represents 255 hours of exposure time to reveal the intricate gravitational interactions within a classic spiral system. Located 31 million light-years away in the constellation Canes Venatici, this composite image highlights the tidal debris and extended stellar halos resulting from its ongoing merger with the smaller companion galaxy NGC 5195. Such extensive data collection allows astronomers to map faint hydrogen-alpha emissions and analyze the density waves driving star formation across the galactic arms. Studies of M51 provide critical insights into the evolution of spiral structures and the dynamics of galactic collisions. #Astronomy #Astrophysics #NASA #Messier51

Excellent! I had a wonderful night and was able to gather starlight for 4 hours. The result is very nice. Have a look at the #WhirlpoolGalaxy #Messier51

Guillaume nous partage ici son #astrophotographie de la #galaxie du Tourbillon, #m51
Il a utilisé sa lunette 125/950 TRIPLET APO de TS. Monture NEQ6PRO, lunette guide 80/480, caméra de guidage zwo asi mini120 et Canon 50d pour 9h de pose au total.

Voici #m51 la #galaxie du Tourbillon qui est en intéraction avec une autre galaxie #ngc5195.
Photographié par Djaffar pendant 4 nuits différentes. 2 nuits en février 2023 en #Alsace et 2 autres nuits en avril 2023 en #Aveyron, ce qui représente en tout 9h de signal
