Description

First ever try at capturing a galaxy. M101 was high in the sky on this day making a nice target with better seeing and easier guiding. The night was pretty cloudy though and I could only get less than 1h of data. Will complement it in the next few sessions to get more details of the core and express those faint spiral arms.
