M81 & M82

A single 4 minute exposure with no guiding? That. is. one beautiful shot!  😃

Thanks Mark! I had almost forgot about that library - I posted there during my first year of astrophotography. Nowadays I use Astrobin for gallery posts, and here is a more recent image of M81&M82: https://www.astrobin.com/full/bftjgc/D/

Hi  Goran, I don't get notifications so  have only just seen this. That is a fantastic photo. How was it taken? Must be using monochrome and filters for one thing, right? I didn't  even know that  nebula existed around those two galaxies!

Thanks, but Oh, that was taken back in 2015 when I just started. Would probably an ES 127ED and a Canon 60Da on a NEQ6. I have not been updating this album as I now use Astrobin (https://www.astrobin.com/users/gorann/). Here is a bit more recent image of these targets: https://www.astrobin.com/bftjgc/E/
