M101 GALAXY AND FRIENDS

[CELESCOPE]

Just had to get out last night ,getting out of practice here ya know, . the sky had improved a bit , but i,m still pestered with this fine mist or fine haze up there , i can tell right away from what data comes to me from the camera ,and i know its going to be hard again , but anyway have to say its a bit better , not a lot , maybe be clearer tonight ,wanted a wide field of M101 and managed to capture a couple of fuzzies as well .not sure what they are , one bottom right and one at the top, that looks like a round galaxy , this was about and hor and half exposure time ranging from 1 min to 3 mins exposures,processed as always in Maxim,

Cheers

Good to see some images coming out of this 'soupy' sky. Excellent image Rog, I think it's a very artistic layout.

You're not alone with the soupy skies !

My skies have been consistently Mag 3 for the last week.

The seeing has ben ib & out as well.

Well done on getting the image. I noticed you have 2 fainter galaxies in the pic.

Cheers

Nicely framed Rog. Plenty of detail in M101 and good to see the other stuff too. amazing how much is up there.
