Pileated Woodpecker at the back deck feeder here in rural mid Michigan. This dude is BIG ;) I'm assuming it's a male but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

The Elephant Trunk Nebula IC1396A in the constellation Cepheus. About 2400 light years form earth. Dark nebula that is thought to be a region of star formation.
Imaged with an ASI2600mc and a Celestron 9.25 with Starizona .63x reducer. From the backyard in my new location in rural Michigan with solid Bortle 3 skies (that translates to REALLY dark).

M101 the Pinwheel Galaxy. About 21 million light years from earth in the constellation Ursa Major. Approx 252,00 lights years across. The 6 defraction spikes on the stars are a result of having 3 spider vanes to hold the secondary mirror instead of the usual 4. Typical Takahashi weirdness.
