Description

This is a close up on the core of spiral Galaxy M101 and showing supernova SN2023ixf shining bright white on the bottom spiral arm. The primary aim was to get a view of the supernova which first appeared in May, so I used the Newtonian telescope at 1000mm focal length and camera zwoasi 662 which gave a small field of view but with greater detail then my previous photo of M101 from 2020.
