Photo description / processing

Testing a new lens. The result is decent, the background is terrible, but it works for capturing M51.

Green, Bortle 4 zone

Exposure

Total exposure: 10 m

Good lens. Perhaps ISO 400 and a longer exposure will reduce the background noise.

Well, I'm still inexperienced at this. Plus, on the first night, there was humidity and the focus was a bit off. But I liked the lens.
