I wasn’t happy with the clarity & sharpness of the Messier 61 I took a few days ago, so I spent a few hours more trying to get nice round stars. This time, I was happy with the results!
With improved tracking & a bit more time spent with the focuser (which is still giving me a problem in Sequence Generator pro), Supernova SN2020jfo shines blue against the faint outer arm of the spiral galaxy.
