Description

I imaged the Supernova in M101 four days after discovery. Quick animation between my shots on Mar 19th and May 23rd. Two months apart and the May 23rd session was done through all the wildfire smoke from Canada making my skies look like soup.

Quick video on the supernova here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MrPU5dVDQo

* TPO 6" f/4 Newt on Advanced VX Mount
* Mount controlled via Astroberry 
* 533MC Pro 
* Svbony 60mm guide scope with ZWO ASI120MM-Mini guide cam 
* Stacked in AstroPixelProcess 
* Post Processing in photoshop: Some noise reduction and color saturation to tease out the supernova
