Whirlpool Galaxy 16x20
16 by 20 inches
Burried in Canes Venatici is one of the most recognizable galaxies in the sky. Apart from being an astronomical gem, Messier 51 is historically significant- in 1845 it was the first galaxy to be recognized as having a spiral form. Irish astronomer Lord Rosse made the discovery with his 72-inch reflector. This image of the Whirlpool and its small companion, NGC 5195, was acquired by amateur astrohpotographers Tony and Daphne Hallas using a 14 1/2-inch reflector, a CCD camera, and more than six hours of exposure time.
