Title: M101, The Pinwheel Galaxy, zoom crop

Description: While I enjoyed the star field and deep space details in the wide view, the DSO itself was lacking, so this is an attempt to zoom in, improve the background sky contrast and saturation as well as further develop some of the details in the dust lanes as best I can given the limitations of the DSLR and my skill in PI. Not sure which I like better.
