Results from a continuing study (Figure 1a) of the CO (J = 1-0) distribution in M51 are presented. The angular resolution (beam size 33″ = 1.5 kpc) and pointing stability (better than 4″) of the Onsala 20-m telescope have extracted a number of new features of the molecular cloud distribution and kinematics of M51 [1,2]:
