Seeing some great images recently

Thanks to all for sharing the great pics this past week. I've been unable to reply individually so here is a group Ya-da-boy!

I'll add my most recent. I wasn't able to get any color but will the next time out. Looks like I got some good L.

M101, AP130 f6, ST8XE, 20x3mins.

A very nice M101. Great depth and details. Stars are really round throughout.
