About this image

Even if it wasn't cloudy in northern Scotland, the sky never gets dark enough this time of year to allow us to see any Deep Sky Objects. Therefore, to capture this image of the supernova in the Pinwheel Galaxy I logged on to iTelescope T11, a 20" CDK, in the Utah Remote Desert Observatory.
