Description

As my 16-panel California Nebula Ha mosaic project came to an end and I wrapped up going deep on Abell 31, I decided to do something a little less "involved" and shifted my attention towards working Rosette and M101 concurrently.  With a lucky stretch of clear skies, I was able to capture the data for both targets in under a week.
