Description

This is my first take with an 8" newtonian reflector. I have been learning how to properly collimate a newtonian for the past weeks. Luckily, I still have the chance to capture the supernova event happening right now in M101 Pinwheel Galaxy. Even after one month of its first discovery, the supernova is still so bright that it would show the diffraction spikes like a bright star in Milky Way.
