"Hi Everyone.. I hope you are having a good day...

Here is a old image of M101, The Pinwheel Galaxy, I shot back in 3/24/2015, this one is without the star spikes and I have cropped it a little so it looks larger in the frame, I hope you like it.. smile emoticon
I plan to revisit this target as soon as it up in the shy.. to add more data. I started learning my camera at this time and now I have a few better techniques of capturing this image so im going to try it.
Have a good day and clear skies.
