Description

Couldn't resist- here's a comparison of M101 from March of 2022 (left panel) versus May 23 of this year (right panel). The arrow is pointing to SN2023ixf . Its saturated in this luminance image (180 x 60s)- the second image is a single  60s sub showing how much brighter the supernova is than the core of the galaxy- truly mind blowing !

Both images are from Bortle 7- the color was taken using an 8" Edge HD with 0.7x reducer and the monochromes were with the Edge 8" HD at native focal length.
