Description

This is the photo referred to in the title (too many photos in my folder now) ZWO ASI294MC-pro with 50mm Canon lens at f4, livestack for 1 minute in SharpCap, 10C temperature setpoint. Ioptron sky tracker polar aligned mount. This is the same image as the earlier one that shows m51 with Alkaid and Mizar, but not cropped as much. I’m hoping m101 shows at the upper right and as before m51 at lower left.The viewing site is a midwestern US city with Bortle 7-8 light polluted sky. Imaged July 2 2020 with near full moon not far away. This combination of camera and software can be used in some very challenging conditions.
