M101 with Supernova 2023ixf

After month of rain we had the first clear night. By chance I read in the Nasa publications that a Nova appeared in M101. The nights in central europa are short, so I tried to get a proper picture.
I had to delete several pictures due to high Cirrus which passed and as well due to plenty of satellites. In one picture I had 4 trails and in the wider view with the Astrograph even 6!
The supernova was discovered from a japanese astronomer on may 20th. M101 is only 21 Mo Lj. distant, therefore this nova is the nearest in the past five years. Its as well the 2nd supernova found in M101 in the past 15 years. According NASA it should be a type II. The nova should likely brighten and remain visible for months.
The Nova is the bright star on the left arm a bit under the middle of the galaxy

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
