M101 Pinwheel Galaxy 20240422
An almost full Moon was flooding the sky with light so I turned away from it towards Ursa Major, home of Messier 101, a spiral galaxy known as the Pinwheel. And thanks to banks of cloud I managed not much more than an hour of image collection. In the circumstances I was quite pleased to have made this. 20" exposures at Gain 300/Offset 10, gathered in the garden in Colchester UK on a ZWO ASI585MC camera with Baader Mk III MPCC coma corrector and ZWO UV/IR cut filter, on a Sky-Watcher Explorer 150p and EQ5 Pro mount, via Stellarmate Plus in Kstars/Ekos. Stacked in AstroPixelProcessor, cropped and adjusted in Lightroom, tweaked in Photoshop with Topaz DeNoise AI.
