Hallo south guys,
weather in the middle of Europe is very good (sunny) and last week I took picture of galaxy M 101. I took this picture with my Skywatcher 254/1200 on EQ - 6 mount.

Picture you can see here:

Good work Pavel. M101 is one of my favourites, but its hard to image well. I'd raise the black point a little more to emphasise those arms and perhaps also raise the red black point higher to drop the red channel further - just be careful you don't clip. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see more images from you.
