Re: Need to confirm M51

Javier,

I live in Saddle Brook, just a couple of miles from you. I've been able to see M51 with my CPC 11", but not even a hint of spiral structure. As a matter of fact, even with my Mallincam astro video camera attached, I can only see the spiral structure faintly. You have to remember that we are in perhaps the worst light polluted area in the entire planet.
