Arp 85, M51, NGC 5194 and NGC 5195. The Whirlpool Galaxy in Canes Venatici

Orientation: Ø23' x 18', m8.4, RA 13h29.9m, Dec +47°11'9”
Image Scale: 1.09 arc sec/pixel
Exposure: Lum 30 x 300" Bin 2x2
Telescope: Meade 14" LX-200R SCT @ f/10 (fl=3556mm)
Camera: SBIG STL-11000M CCD

Notes: Moon at 85% illumination made for a bright sky. Being low on my northern horizon at only 20° altitude, I had to image through 3.71 air masses! but it was worth it to catch this most beautiful of galaxies.
Additional Notes: Spiral with large HSB companion on arm
