Messier 101

[Benny L (Ben)]

Hi all,

I have had some data sitting on the lightbuckets.com server for a while and I have managed to get around to processing it

I give you M101, taken on the Lightbuckets LB0002 System.

Exposure was a total of 405 minutes at f3.6

Cheers for viewing

Ben

Ben,

Nice image, looks like another galaxy up in the left hand corner.

Ben, very impressive image.
And more impressive for another reason ...
Did you image it from Perth?
M101 has a declination of a little above 54 degs North and Perth is about 32 degs South, which would put the galaxy at just over 4 degs above horizon.
Nice indeed!

Regards, Rob.

Hi Rob,

I wish it was imaged from Perth It was taken using the lightbuckets facility at Rodeo, New Mexico

www.lightbuckets.com

I used LB0002 for that image
