Description

M101 is one of the first galaxies that I tried to image with my Celestron Nexstar Evolution 6 scope and my ZWO Asi224MC back in Y2019. I could see some noisy core but nothing special.

I am glad to revisit this galaxy with the same scope but with an equatorial mount and a camera with bigger sensor. Now the whole galaxy can be seen with satisfactory details for a 6 inch F/10 SCT
