On May 31/08 I was checking out a new very dark observing site with my f/5 12.5 inch dob. I was blown away by the view I had of M101. Many H-II regions stood out. This was a quick sketch that I did so that I could identify the prominent ones. Using an image from the NGC Project I'm able to positively identify 6 possibly seven distinct regions. This is how I saw the galaxy at 152X.
