Ahoj!
There's a great project on the M51 Whirlpool Galaxy currently going on, started by Yuri Toropin. Currently, there are 18 telescopes involved all over the world, ranging from 140mm TEC APO and ending up with 20" Ritchey-Cretiens, all imaged M51. All the data was then combined by Yuri and made available for post-processing. Here is my version of the data as it currently is:

As Yuri just mentioned to me, the data set will soon be updated with 32" RCOS, so I am going to start it all over soon.
Processed using PixInsight, eXcalibrator, Adobe Photoshop and Aladin Sky Atlas.
