Description

This M101 image is my 101st image on Astrobin and has 101 hours total exposure time 

50 hours of data has been gathered in February-May 2022 and another 51 hours were added in May-July 2023. The goal of this multi-year project was to reveal the faint outer arms of the galaxy.

The supernova 2023ixf is visible too but it is not very prominent because only about 35% of light frames have it. Please also see the animated Revision B, which shows integrated images from a few nights in May when the supernova appeared.

Enjoy!
Vitali
