This dataset captures NGC 5194, better known as the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51), a face-on spiral galaxy interacting with its smaller companion. The data comprises 110 frames through an Optolong UV/IR cut filter, each exposed for 180 seconds, totaling 5.5 hours of integration time. All frames were acquired on 2025-04-02 using a Sky-Watcher 150P telescope paired with an SV405CC camera on an EQ6-R Pro mount. The UV/IR filter helps reduce chromatic aberration and atmospheric dispersion while preserving the galaxy's structural detail across visible wavelengths. This dataset is available as a free download under CC BY-NC 4.0, permitting copying, modification and redistribution for non-commercial purposes.
