M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy
Date taken: 21 and 23 March 2020. Camera: Astro-Modified Canon 600D. Telescope: SW Esprit 100 with Field Flattener and Baader U-HCS filter. Mount: AZ-AQ6 mount Image: 60 light subs (3 minute with 15 sec interval) with master dark, Flat and bias each made from 80 subs. Comments: The Pinwheel Galaxy is a favourite goto object for me. There is good detail here but not quite beating my image obtained in Salisbury a few years ago. There is no substitute for a dark sky. The larger FoV of the Esprit 100 does capture the smaller galaxies in the background well though. I may try to add more subs to this one.
