Description

As before this is my image of M101, drizzled luminance and normal RGB (in effect "binning" it 2x2)

I'm very happy with the result considering my small aperture of 100mm. Even the fainter outer arms are in the image What I did not know is that there are even fainter spiral arms at the top of the image. I could not extract them though. This is something for another try at the galaxy from a darker location.
