About this image

Nearly 2 hours of observation of M101, the Pinwheel Galaxy with a Dwarf 3. Good clear dark skies with no lunar interference. All auto settings on the Dwarf (including astro filter) and in Stellar Studio. Binned x2. Gain and saturation increased slightly in Photoshop. A number of other galaxies show up in this image which I will again annotate at some point.
