      Description

      Hello my friends,

      as you know there is currently a beautiful supernova in the great galaxy M101.

      The omicron team had already made a very good image of this galaxy in 2021. We have decided to come back to it for the occasion.

      Serge brunier added 3x1h30 of RGB last night to reveal the magnificent blue of this supernova. The seeing was very good.

      I mixed the RGB data with that of 2021 to gain depth.

      A tribute to this beautifull blue "new" star.


      Final version is a 4K crop. The full frame is here :

      Clear skies to all.
