NGC5194 AKA M51 NGC5195

 The Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as Messier 51a or NGC 5194, lies in the constellation Canes Venatici, and was the first galaxy to be classified as a spiral galaxy. It is about 31 million light-years away from Earth and 76,900 light years in diameter. The companion galaxy is NGC 5195. (This first light for my Hyperstar)
