Description: Very easy object for this instrument under dark skies. Had no
difficulties whatsoever to see the center of M51 and the center of NGC5195
surrounded by nebulosity and didn't need averted vision to do so. However -
there was no structure visible in either of the nebulosities. A very beautiful
object!
