Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) with DMK31AU03.AS

Tonight I imaged my first galaxy using my DMK31AU03.AS! To me this is absolutely fascinating! 🙂 I also published my image here. Here are some more camera details: Auto max value: 1/15 (auto), Auto reference: 126, Brightness: 15, Gamma: 100, Gain: 930. For stacking I used giotto V2.21.
