Image Details:

Well, it's the galaxy season, and I started the season by completing this one. This is M51 - Whirlpool galaxy from my backyard in Bortle 8, Suez City, Egypt., 23.5 Million Light years from us. I shot it using my D3500 DSLR, a 300mm lens, a tracking mount and an optolong L pro filter.
This is the best I could given the sky condition and the gear I own now.
