[Wraithgoddess]

the hubble, and spitzer. you could never see this from a conventional home telescope.

@Wraithgoddess Only if you do long time CCD astrophotography. Seen many good images of M51 taken through 14 inch SCTs down to a ED80 refractor. But agree just viewing through a Telescope unless it was a monster 50inch Dob, do not expect to see huge amounts of detail or colour.

@Wraithgoddess how about from the keck?

@Wraithgoddess its probably safe to say not many people will be observing in infrared or xrays in their backyard. M51 is a pretty easy target from a home telescope, see pics here - cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V­iewItem&item=280664067961
