I like this image, it's stunning but real and natural at the same time!

Here comes an image of M101 shot under ~ Bortle 4 skies over the course of 4 nights.

M81 is one of my favorite galaxies so i could not resist capturing it a second time this season now when the skies cleared up after almost 1 month with clouds. Captured November 16th,17th and 18th. Total integration time: 16 hours and 42 minutes. The reason i cooled my camera to -30°C is because ambient temp during capture was between -15°C and -20°C. 1002 x 60s lights 60 darks 40 flats 40 flat darks ZWO ASI533MC Pro @ -30°C Gain 105 Offset 70 ZWO UV/IR CUT 1.25" 8" F/5 Sky-Watcher Explorer 200PDS ES HR Coma Corrector Sky-Watcher HEQ5 Pro 50/200mm Guidescope ZWO ASI120MM Mini ZWO EAF Software: EQmod,Nina,PHD2,Siril Clear skies Gabriel

I decided to reprocess this image just for fun, here is the result:

Thanks, appreciate it! I live under rural skies and have seen it through my old 16"and i agree it's a a nice treat visually as well!

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback as well 🙏👍

Outstanding image!!

Messier 82 - The Cigar Galaxy. According to Wikipedia it's central region is about 100 times more luminous than the cental region of the Milky Way (!) Captured last night, 6 hours and 7 minutes total integration time.

Last night i managed to get 4 hours and 30 minutes on a field of galaxies i find very interesting and beautiful so i thought i would share! NGC 2276 is the conspicuous spiral galaxy next to the star almost in the middle of the image and next to it is the lenticular galaxy NGC 2300. I found 16 background galaxies and i would guess at least 20 are visable if one looks carefully.

Thank you, really appreciate it!

Clouds came and went last night to such a degree i am surprised i even have something. It's only 1 hour and 30 minutes but it's enough for me to be satisfied with the result. I would like to go for much longer integration times but it's so fun to image a new target and get an acceptable result i just can't resist... 90x60s lights 100 darks 40 flats 40 flat darks ZWO ASI533MC Pro @ -20°C Gain 105 Offset 70 ZWO UV/IR CUT 1.25" 8" F/5 Sky-Watcher Explorer 200PDS Wega Primary Mirror Baffle ES HR Coma Corrector Sky-Watcher HEQ5 Pro 50/200mm Guidescope ZWO ASI120MM Mini ZWO EAF Software: EQmod,Nina,PHD2,Siril Clear skies Gabriel

I agree! Thank you, i appreciate it very much!

Thank you, much appreciated!
