A Whale?

At last I've processed my folder full of pictures I called 'galaxy madness'. There's a whole lot of galaxies you can see and a whole lot more you can photograph with a 20" telescope on a good night in spring. Here's a funny one I found in the funny sounding constellation Canes Venatici. I detrailed and stacked 22 x 30second images of it (f/4.8, f.l=2400mm) so the exposure was 11 minutes on my Canon EOS 350D. It's an amazing likeness, n'est-ce pas?
