Joe, That was a really fun read. Those are rare nights when everything comes together so well. It is like providence smiles down on you for all your persistence in trying to get things just right. I recall M101 being a disappointment because of how dim it was even through my 12.5” 2222mm focal length scope. Nice picture. Good job.
