This picture is of the Pinwheel Galaxy.
Since this is only one picture, I took it and adjusted the image taken for me using the Log and then Auto button. After that I reduced the noise of it.
This galaxy is actually in the constellation Ursa Major and is also known as Messier 101 or M101. This type of galaxy is a spiral galaxy and is 70% larger than the Milky Way Galaxy! It is also 21 million light years from Earth which means that this picture that you are seeing, which was taken last night, is how the galaxy looked 21 million years ago... That is absolutely crazy!
