Description
At the end of April 2025, my daughter and I photographed the Whirlpool Galaxy M51. Our goal, once again, was to push the SV550 122mm telescope to its limits. This resulted not only in this image of two colliding galaxies, but also in the detection of several other galaxies up to 2 billion light-years away. Detailed descriptions can be found in the third and fourth images. Once again, our large telescope has demonstrated the capabilities of SVBONY products, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to every astronomy enthusiast.
