Its been at least two weeks since the last astro-SHINY post and after of all the recent weirdness - a picture post is overdue.

These are awfully pretty; particularly, I think, M101 - not as colourful as M83, but with a sort of pristine delicacy thing going on (if that makes any sense).

More of the excellent work we've come to expect from you, Doc. :)
