No conference on the interaction of galaxies would be complete without a contribution on M51 (NGC5194) and its companion NGC5195. Much observational and theoretical work has been carried out to try to understand this interacting pair, and to elucidate the morphological features and weak AGN which are thought to be the result of the interaction.
