Description

Here it is.... my own version of the recently discovered supernova.

Since I imaged M101 just last month I was able to generate this animated image.
Both images were taken under very different conditions: the image from April collected 7h of data from Bortle 2 with good seeing while the new image from May totals 3h45 from Bortle 7 with a seeing that wasn't great.

It took me several hours of processing to get the two images to match but it was worth the pain and, ultimately, I am very satisfied with the result.
