Description

This image took a lot of effort to get through. It was my test target for dialing in backfocus early in June and I decided to put in the time to finish it in late June / early July. I'm satisfied with how it turned out considering what I went through, but still am working through a whole host of "issues" with my setup.

There is no doubt it's my personal best M101 by a very wide margin, so that is encouraging.

Enjoy!
