M51 whirlpool galaxy in past collision about 20 million years ago. Magnificent structured galaxies containing millions of varying aged stars. Seen in most modest sized telescopes it appears as round illuminated smudge but bigger scopes show its true magnificent structure.I first saw this in 1981 at the then bodes observatory using 24 inch stellercraft homebuilt reflector of Jim Stevenson whos no longer with us. I was amazed at my observations that night.....
