M51 is my favorite galaxy, and She was especially beautiful this night. I could see her spiral structure in the 250mm diameter telescope. I couldn't resist to make a photo.
She is located in the constellation Canes Venatici, we find her starting from the easternmost star of the Big Dipper, Alkaid, and going 3.5° southeast.
Between 20 and 40 millions light-years away, no one knows exactly. About 38 000 light-years diameter. Hundreds billions stars and planet. How many civilizations...
24 exposures of 1mn30 selected from a series of 70. Pre-processing and addition with Iris. Noise reduction with Neat Image. Curves, levels, vignetage reduction under Photoshop.

M51 est ma galaxie préférée. Généralement on l'appelle la Galaxie du Tourbillon mais je préfère l'appelé la Galaxie des Chiens de Chasses. Elle était vraiment belle cette nuit là. Je pouvais voir ses bras spiraux de le télescope de 250mm de diamètre. J'ai pas pu résister à faire une photo.
Elle se trouve la constellation des Chiens de Chasses. On la trouve en partant de l'étoile la plus à l'est de la Grande Ourse, Alkaid, puis on va à 3.5° au sud-est.
Entre 20 et 40 année-lumières de distance, persone ne sais exactement. Environ 38 000 année-lumières de diamètre. Des centaines de milliards d'étoile et de planètes. Et combien de civilisations...

In the description you mentioned a 250mm (aperture) telescope, so I was kind of confused. But if it's a 150mm telescope that you actually took the picture for, then it is very similar to mine. My telescope is a 152mm f/5, so I should be able to frame a pic like this one.

In fact I have two telescope : a 150mm F/5 on a equatorial mount and a dobson 250mm. I use the dobson for visual observation while I take photos with the equatorial. Sorry for the confusion.
