Description

M101 aka "The Pinwheel Galaxy" - a textbook spiral galaxy in the Ursa Major constellation. Very large object and not that bright at all.

Finally managed to process this data... took like 5 attempts and "mixing" them in the end to come up with something usable at 100% resolution. Still, I feel I would use 50% more exposure.
This is the full FOV at 100% resolution.

Data collected in January 2021 and January + February 2022.
