Description

I thought my season had finished, then I heard one of us amateurs had discovered a Supernova a few days ago.   I couldn't resist pointing my modest gear at M101, took around 3 hours of exposure,   I see it!  What a great hobby this is, 25 million years ago a star exploded, adding to the heavy elements that make us all possible or what if any life exists in the Pinwheel.  This all happened before the human race existed and here we are capturing it!
