Description

Revision 3-9-22  Slight increase in contrast within galaxy structure.

I had a bit of fun with this image of M101...  Hence the "Fiery Pin Wheel Galaxy" -- breaking the typical norm in color balance for this object.   I was pleased that the seeing conditions at the Sagrada Observatory were slightly improved last night. 

Image data was:  30 x 180 seconds Luminance 1x1; 12 x 600 seconds each RGB binned 2x2.  Image from the Sagrada Observatory;  Telescope 24"f8 RC; Camera  FLI-PL-09000;  Gen II Filters.
