Description

I couldn't let the clear night go to waste. Objects of the right scale in the optimal part of my visible sky are a little scarcer at the moment so went back to M101 as it reached meridan around 2.30am and I'm too lazy to bother with meridian flips when I can get away with it :-)

I initially stacked/combined/processed with AstroPixel Processor again but intend restacking with the new DSS to see how they compare.

I don't consider it a wasted evening at any rate :-)
