Description

Acquired the images through iTelescope and M 101 was a little trickier than I had anticipated when I picked it to image.... Keeping the diffuse nebula spinning off the galaxy and working around the awkward shape really stretched (...) my fledgling masking skills. Also couldn't find a sweet spot with HDRMultiscaleTransform so gave up on it, but not sure if it isn't the right thing in this case, or if I'm just not figuring it out. Anyhow, onward and upward, as they say....
