Great image of M101 and the supernova, the scale really does show so many galaxies

Do you still have very dark skies where you are in France- are they still turning lights off in the evening ?  I wish the UK would do something similar- the light pollution is just crazy here

That's rather nice Duncan.

Thanks Carole and everyone.

Yes, the lights go off at 21:30 though I'm not sure they are even going on at this time of year. They nominally light up at 6am. So it's dark  .
