Whirlpool galaxy

0

Colored Whirlpool Here is my first clumsy effort at a color image of the Whirlpool Galaxy. I’m like a journeyman carpenter using his brand new box of tools for the first time. (Which end of the hammer do I grab? Why are the studs crooked? What do I do next?)

The next time I can catch a clear night at one of the MyTelescope sites, I will try to snag a higher resolution image to perhaps avoid some of the graininess in the above image. Perhaps. Stay tuned.

Dave, hoping a little practice will help.
