I tried to process this image to maximise the number of galaxies that I could see whilst still having an OK image of M51. How many galaxies in total can you see?  Full size image here:  M51 |

Try the annotation script in PI. Activate both the pgc and sdss r7 catalogues. That should give you at least several dozen more. cheers, Wim https://aladin.unistra.fr/AladinLite/?target=13%2029%2049.299%2B47%2013%203.75&fov=1.40&survey=P%2FDSS2%2Fcolor |

I'm with Geoff - easily 20, probably more with a little effort. Joe PS - And my old eyes aren't what they used to be! |

FWIW: there are probably more than 40, but that is because there is a galaxy cluster at the top of the image (just to the left and up from the brightest star). I just love delving into the background of images to see what I have missed. |
