Below is my first DSI-2 image of a galaxy Messier 51. M51 is near the end of the handle of the Big Dipper. As luck would have it a member of the Meade DSI Yahoo discussion group, Bill Rouse announced there is a new supernova or exploding star in M51 also supplying a link to before and after images. I didn't get a chance to image the galaxy until June 8th. Again I did not keep good exposure records. The red arrow in the post processed image points to the exploding star. Exposure was unguided which helps explains the oval shapes of the stars.
