Description

Thanks to luck with the weather - we all need that! - I was able to capture the current supernova in M101 just 3 days after it was discovered by Koichi Itagaki.
This Type II supernova is actually the brightest in M101 for the last 10 years!

I tried not to over-process M101, since that exploding star is supposed to be the focus of attention - I hope you like my result!
