Pinwheel Galaxy, M101
James Harrison, Witney, Oxfordshire, March 2020
James says: “I captured this in my back garden near Witney, where we have skies that measure 4 on the Bortle scale (a nine-point scale that measures the night sky’s brightness where 1 is the darkest). I’ve always liked the Pinwheel Galaxy, with its nebulous edges and complex core, and was glad to to it justice with one of the largest datasets I’ve gathered on a single target.”
