Description

Clouds have been extremely pesky over the last couple of months. During the last full moon, I took some Ha data of several galaxies I was planning to shoot. The first one to be completed was M101. I enjoyed capturing this one, as I have several times in the past year or two, but I feel like this one came out the best in all of those efforts.
