Description

My attempt at M101. After several attempts at processing, I ultimately decided to go with one of the first variations to be completed. 
I'm pretty happy with how this came out, but shooting galaxies with a wider telescope is proving to be a bit difficult, especially when you can't get the kind of detail you want. That being said, I still think it makes a pretty picture and am happy with the outcome overall.
