Description

Our capture of the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101) this year. It’s a spectacular spiral galaxy approximately 21 million light years away in Ursa Major. Was fun to capture it in mono and incorporate Ha into the image. We’re still figuring out and experimenting with the mono process and best practices.
