M51 in a warm spring night

This rewards me for the years of work on the indi_pylibcamera driver. I used the Raspberry Pi HQ camera with KStars/EKOS for the main OTA and for guiding. Guiding was done with the HQ camera configured for "Raw Mono" and binning 2x2. My telescope is a D=150mm f=750mm Newtonian on an equatorial mount. I took 94 lights and 10 darks with each 60 seconds exposure time. Unfortunately my location has a lot of light pollution (Bortle class 5). Post-processing was done with Siril.
