M51 – Whirlpool Galaxy & SN 2011dh
I “think” this is confirmation of SN 2011dh in M51. From my comparison’s to other photos, it sure looks like it. Kind of neat to capture this. I am a bit disappointed with the overall detail of the galaxy, I need way more practice with galaxies, which seem to be the most challenging of objects so far with the DSI II and Meade LS 8 ACF, even at f6.3.
