M51 stood right out when I was trying to locate it. It was very easy to
locate. I could not observe to much detail, however I could definitely
tell that it was two interacting galaxies. The color was deep gray, and
it made me feel like if I could just focus a little better it would
resolve its' wonderful beauty. Overall I was very satisfied.
Thank you
cindy
