Mariano.
Excellent sketch of a fine object.
When I look at M51 from my location it is so low in the north I just need a chair to sit at the eyepiece of a 56cm f5 dob.
I would love to observe it a bit higher in the sky.

Mariano, nice sketch of one of my favorites especially when I can
view it from a dark site.
