Supernova in the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101)
A new Star Explosion called a supernova has been spotted in the Pinwheel galaxy.
I pointed my telescope at the galaxy and found it here.
If I compare it to the picture I captured of the galaxy 2 years ago, it's easy to see it stand out.
At 21 million light-years away, this is the closest supernova in a decade.
I captured this with my Celestron RASA (8-inch) telescope, ZWO ASI533MC color camera, and an Optolong L-Pro filter.
