Description

Hi everyone,

here's another one from this galaxy season. After so many years I decided, that I'm going to give shooting M101 another shot as I am no longer happy with what I had created in the past. For many it's probably one of the more "boring" targets, but I really like something like that for a change I have to say. I enjoy the process of getting the most out of the gear I have and trying to make it as good as I can. I'm definitely a lot more happy with this version than my past one which I created back when I was very new at the hobby. Of course as always, a longer focal length would've been nice Maybe next season I'll tackle that.

Have a great week,
Sven
