Wow! Love those tidal streams which I have never seen before. If this does not qualify for APOD, nothing will :). You two are the best astro-couple on RUclips!!
Awesome collab! Grats to everyone who has contributed! Was very interesting to see how many different scopes were used in this. APOD for sure on this one :)
Cool work. Hopefully all of you guys are going to take on other objects like this with crazy integration time. Because these kind of pictures are really a piece of art.
Absolutely stunning result! M51 will always hold a special place for me. It was the first "real" deep sky object I ever imaged back in 2019 or so. The image was an underexposed, trailed and blurry mess and it was captured with an f/12 MAK and a DSLR using the stock alt/az mount on a wobbly deck against a streetlight consisting of barely 20 minutes of 30s exposures. In spite of all that, it somehow still remains one of my favorite images.
Well done! Congratulations 🎉! Will you be able to write this up for a paper submitted to a professional journal? It sounds like there’s some new science here.
Thanks Alan! I don't believe that anything new was disovered, a 2015 paper ( iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2041-8205/800/1/L3/pdf ) covered the tidal stream in depth, and a 2018 paper covered the HA cloud ( arxiv.org/abs/1804.01699 ). Not sure about the blue stream
Big thumbs up! Very impressive and motivating to put more time into imaging M51. Great job! Is there a threshold for Bortle skies to participate in your group?
Been waiting 2 years 6 months 17 days, 5 hours and 31 minutes (when I got my first telescope) and wondered how you would do this. I can wait a few more minutes….😊
That's the best M51 I've ever seen. Well done everyone who played a part. Hope you entered it for a NASA APOD.
Thank you, let's hope it gets featured as an APOD!
@@GalacticHunter It did, congratulations! :)
Congrats to everyone who participated! This image was great fun to process
Fantastic processing 💪🏻
Congrats to all the imagers!!! I’m curious about the stacking process. How long did it take? Is your computer still alive?! 😂
Congratulations on getting this photo onto the NASA website. I gave it 5 stars for sure. Great work from all collaborators. Clear skies
Wow! This is just phenomenal!
APOD says this is the "definitive galaxy portrait of M51".
I agree.
What an awesome thing to do. Congrats to everyone involved. BRILLIANT!
Thank you!!
You finally made it. Congratulations on the APOD. :)
Congratulations to you and the entire group! And now you've been given a well deserved APOD today!
Breathtaking!! :-D Amazing job to all involved!
You two ddo great together. Love the girls emphasis on some points.
Wow! Love those tidal streams which I have never seen before. If this does not qualify for APOD, nothing will :). You two are the best astro-couple on RUclips!!
Thanks! And yes if this doesn't get APOD it would honestly be laughable.
Awesome collab! Grats to everyone who has contributed! Was very interesting to see how many different scopes were used in this. APOD for sure on this one :)
Thanks! Let's hope for an APOD!
shes looking stunning 😍
J’en ai eu des frissons de voir M51 aussi belle.
Bravo pour cette collaboration
Encore merci pour cette restitution
Merci beaucoup Pascal, c'était un super projet et on va continuer sur d'autres objets !
Wow! Excellent project! Beautiful image! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks we're very happy with the results!
Very cool work! The amount of dust around M51 is amazing. Congrats to the team!
Congratulations on APOD!!! All you guys really deserve it!!!
Great video, thanks for sharing! Amazing effort and accomplishment for everyone involved!
Congrats on publishing you picture on NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day
Beautiful work everyone!👏🍻
Woot! So excited for you. Just woke up to a familiar sight on my NASA widget. Félicitations de votre premier APOD!!! 😊
Truly stunning image, well done to all 👍
Thank you!
Stunning! Congratulations! My favorite galaxy. I will certainly take part in these projects. Thank you.
That's an insane image well done to everyone who participated by far the best M51 I've seen.
Thank you!! More to come!
Beautiful work
That was amazing! The data management alone was impressive. So worth the results.
It was a great project, now we can't wait to do more!
Wow! Really the best M51 I have ever seen!
Incredible stuff, guys! What an amazing collab. That Ha detail is unreal.
Incredibly detailed!! Great job guys!!
Thank you!!
This image blew me away! Fantastic work!
Aloha from 22.1N! Great teamwork and Stunning image! Congrats! Aloha!
Thank you!!
Awesome, yes, the best iamge I have ever seen of M51
Amazing guys! I´ve never seen M51 with so much details! Very inspiring work! Thank you!
Thank you!! It's nice to have such a great result!
can't wait
Great effort by all, well done
Cool work. Hopefully all of you guys are going to take on other objects like this with crazy integration time. Because these kind of pictures are really a piece of art.
Great Work!
Incredible turnout and love the project to get these very deep insights into M51 behaviour. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, we will do more!
The detail of the tidal stream is absolutely mind blowing! Congratulations to the team! I hope you will win an award for this masterpiece
Thank you! Hoping for an APOD on this one, it was a big project!
That's a really impressive picture. Great teamwork
Thank you!

Haha, you never forget your first target! Great memories
Outstanding!
Thanks Trevor!
That's actually better than I expected... I didn't think that that much more could be brought out even with so much time.
Thank you, yes it's so nice to see all the faint stuff in the image!
Amazing image and congratulations to the team. That's a mind blowing amount of integration time but clearly worth it.
Thank you! We'll have more to come!
@@GalacticHunter and now...... congratulations on the APOD!!!!👏🎉
Superbe ! Félicitations à vous tous
Merci beaucoup!
Great job. 👌At the end i taught you were going to show a comparison with the Hubble image 😁
Haha I should have!
Incredible 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 more in the future ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Yes we hope to do many more!
Amazing job. Great idea. I don't think I get 23 hours of integration time in an entire season. That's dedication. Congrats.
Thank you! We're lucky we often have clear skies and were able to gather our part of the data pretty fast
Wow amazing image of M51!
Thanks!
Awesome work! Congrats!
Thanks Marcel!
wow congrats
oh my god, that is awesome.
Yesssss thanks!
Whouaaaa ce boulot 😳👌 c'est juste SUBLIME. Un grand BRAVO
Merci beaucoup Jeremy!
Just saw the APOD of this image today!!!
grats on your apod tomorrow it seems :)
That was impressive. I've never seen a photo of M51 that showed all the trailing ionized gasses.
Thank you, it's great to be able to reveal such faint gas!
Very interested in the process on how to bring all the different data together in Pixinsight Please!!
Well done! Congratulations 🎉! Will you be able to write this up for a paper submitted to a professional journal? It sounds like there’s some new science here.

this looks like something hubble will take
Big thumbs up! Very impressive and motivating to put more time into imaging M51. Great job! Is there a threshold for Bortle skies to participate in your group?
Thank you! Sadly the group is now closed due to too many requests to join 😅
It was chosen as an APOD!
Been waiting 2 years 6 months 17 days, 5 hours and 31 minutes (when I got my first telescope) and wondered how you would do this.
I can wait a few more minutes….😊
Haha, the wait is now over :D
@@GalacticHunterwow!! That is really stunning even on iphone screen. Can’t wait to see it on something bigger. Truly well done to everyone involved
Cliff hanger 🙂
Billions and billions
i'm still waiting lol
okay, I feel kind of dumb for asking, but where can I find the poster in the background?!
NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day - 11 August 2023
hello can i Share the image through my IG account?
This would have to be the best image of M51 and NGC5195 and friends that exist from ground based telescopes. What focal length?
Clear skies.
Thank you! Several telescopes of various focal lengths were used, the one we used was 655mm.
Holy F#@@!
NASA announced it will be APOD tomorrow (11th of August)
are you on mastodon guys?
Yeah Messier objects are beautiful but not as beautiful as Dalia ❤
❤

Is it legal, by the way??? =D Smells like cheating! =D
