M101 - Pinwheel!
Photo description / processing
Photographed in April 2026 over three nights. Due to the strong and gusty north wind during those days and nights, only ~9.5 hours were usable. Plus, two of the three nights had powerful auroras extending past the zenith. Planning to properly capture a couple more nights ))
P.S.: Surprisingly, for almost my entire conscious life I called it Vatrushka and was 100% sure that was correct, and only one incident pointed out this mistake ><
