Description

The skies here in upstate New York have been full of the smoke from the Alberta wildfires, but I was finally able to get a little bit of time on M101 with its new supernova, SN 2023ixf!

The supernova appears to the lower right of the galactic core, as the brightest star (former star?) in the arm below the galaxy in the frame.
