Description

A clear night is to be used for local galaxies....here is M101, the Pinwheel Galaxy of the Northern Skies - not as colorful as M83 but very attractive as well. Unfortunately, the second night did no work out due to wind gusts - I wanted to add Ha for the starbirthplaces...but maybe it will work out another night in the near future.

Taken on my RASA11 with an ASI183MC - about 190subs at 120sec each, usable about 160 of them. Processing in PixInsight and Photoshop.
