M101 - 9h44

[vineyard]

Am in the process of changing imaging scope, so just cleaning out data captured with the old setup.  Here's 9h44 of M101 roughly equally split between CLSCCD & HA filters.  This is a crop of about the central 1//3-1/2 (from memory) of the aggregate image taken w an ASI294MCPro & a TV102iis w a 0.79 reducer-flattener.  Rescaled jpg for size.

Cheers.

What a great  image, I just marvel at these images of galaxies, so many of them and what lies within them, who lies within?

Thanks Steve, that's v kind.  IKWYM about what is out there.  I actually hadn't appreciated how many other objects are out there even just around M101 - have started capturing some data w the newer wider-field imaging setup & there's quite a few other things up there even in just that bit of sky.  To think there's probably creatures out there looking at/towards us wondering the same thing.  Or else it's all just a simulation😂
