Description

So here in the UK we have entered that period of the year where there is no more astronomical darkness. Despite that, I decided to give LRGB imaging a shot. Thankfully M101 was near zenith in a darker region of the sky. Even with the lack of darkness and only about 3hrs of usable "kind of dark" time, I consider this a huge success!
