M 51\u2014The Whirlpool Galaxy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Ultra-deep view of the Whirlpool Galaxy\u2014a collaboration project initiated by Yuri Toropin.<\/h5>\n

How deep amateurs can go? The Hubble Ultra Deep Field has inspired amateurs from the very first moment it became available. In 2010, Yuri Toropin, PhD, has started an international collaboration project whereby many amateurs worldwide have submitted their M51 imaging data into a single large dataset. This is my own version of processing this wonderful collection of photons.<\/p>\n

Post-processed on 24″ iMac using PixInsight, eXcalibrator, Aladin Sky Atlas and Adobe Photoshop CS4.<\/p>\n
