Description

We are all stuck at home for the crazy virus situation and it is new moon now. I tried to image M101 (Pinwheel galazy) in UMa with a Celestron C8 SCT and a Canon 600D DSLR camera.

Resulting image is very poor and made with 1000 (!!!) 30s frames @800ISO.

Missing nature and dark skies, will be back once they let us of the cage ;-)
