Description

For the record I took some short exposures of M101 and the bright supernova during troubleshooting issues with my equipment. My PC died then PHD was crashing when I changed the exposure, Oh No! The PC was easy to solve, reseated the RAM then all ok, PHD took a little longer but turned out to be a corrupted installation, phew I though my guide cam had failed.

The two frames are 2021 reference image and two nights combining a 10min and a 32 min exposures. Colour information from the 2021 image.
