I watch the weather on a daily basis and I have never seen so much bad weather coming from the South in winter. Normally we get weather from the North in winter, and from the direction of Greece and Turkey in summer. This winter is upside down. I just hope our summer weather doesn't come from the North. 😕

Last week was like a washing machine over the observatory.....its been like that all winter....with most of the clear night falling on a bright moon...ridiculous!

M51 - just such a beautiful galaxy, you've got so much detail in there and the colours just pop, another jaw dropping image from your mega rig.

 

There's a very distant galaxy just  above and left of NGC5195 - I haven't got that named in my platesolved M51 image from last year on astrobin - but in your image its so clear - do you know anything about it ?

Peter may I ask what do you think is causing the artefact?

Its a mark on the sensor of some kind....Not frost as it is consistent. Moravian have no explanation for it. So it is going back for repair. The camera will be replaced with a Kepler KL404 as soon as I can get out to Spain....hoping that will be very soon.
