Description

Messier 101 is a grand design spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major (The big dipper) about 21 million lightyears away. This has been taken by fairly modest amateur equipment, using an 12 years old DSLR.

This is the result of a corporation with my friend Miriam Varding, she aquired the data and I did the main part of processing.
