[APML] A new Whirlpool Photo...

["Richmann, Michael" <richmann@cmt.anl.gov>]

Well, it was a crap shoot as to whether to go out last night (too windy
after frontal passage) but I took a chance and I was glad I did.  I wasn't
very happy with my previous effort at M51 (handguided, etc.) so I pointed
the old 8" Meade at the Whirlpool and took another crack at it.  As it turns
out, the winds died down, the seeing and transparency were quite good and
out came the following:

Needless to say, I'm drooling in anticipation of getting the mount for my
12.5" RC...
