WIDE FIELD shot of M51

Here's an example of just how wide and flat the LXD75 8" f/4 Schmidt Newtonian is.
This is an uncropped 35mm frame taken at prime focus with an Olympus Om-1.
The exposure was 20 minutes, hand guided on Fujichrome 400F Provira.

Enjoy!

-A wonderful photo, Pete.

I'm gonna go waaay out on a limb, here, and guess that...perhaps...just maybe...you're having loads of fun with your SN8 & LXD75. 8)

Of course, I could be misreading.

Clownfish? I'm afraid to ask...
I have four clown loaches, myself. They're called the Stooges.

Cheers and grins.

Awesome, Peter. Puts things in a cosmological perspective. Thanks for sharing.
