Description

This is my first DSO image with dedicated camera (ASI 1600 MM). I'm afraid I forgot to clean the sensor.

Messier 101 or Pinwheel Galaxy is an spiral one in the Constellation Ursa Major, discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781. This is aproximately 23 Mly from Earth and is near double size than Milky Way.
