M81 and M82

[harry page]

Hi

Thanks for looking and taking the time to comment

Lets see now

1) subs all 5min

2) I tell my wife the kit cost a few hundred pounds so it must be true

3) The detail is ok but better can be achieved at longer FL , but I love my faster F ratio

4) my use of wavlets does not please everyone

Here is more stretched image to show the IFN , pushed a bit far though

That almost looks like an artists impression rather than a photo!

Hi

Good - bad or not quite sure

I like it, but it almost looks too clear, sharp, and the colours so bright, and that's what make it look unreal!

Fantastic level of detail.

IFN..... Mmmmmm tasty

Its shocking what you can get with 5min subs at that speed. It must have taken forever to stack that many luminence subs - probably a case of set it off then go have your dinner!

get those in Sky at night mag....the best yet

[SteveA]

OMG....

I apologise for doubting the power of PixInsight!...

Thats the best image I've ever seen!...

[laser_jock99]

Dedication- wonderfull images!

[Gina]

Quite incredible!!

Excellent set of images harry, particularly the M81 shot.

[Rattler]

Amazing images. So much detail. Nice one.

[jflowers]

That is really amazing, inspiring!!! I need to get a camera LOL but the wife wont like it

There are so many background galaxies in that high res image too, said it before but Amazing (set as my desktop image now)

Serriously stunning

....There are so many background galaxies.....

I counted about 20 before I stopped counting.

absolutely stunning! Tried to find these two last night but I wasn't able to. Wasn't great conditions though and my first attempt

Super Harry,

M82 lots great with the Ha tendrils coming off it. M81 is a bit over wavelet'ed for my liking and the brown colour makes it look a little strange, but that detail ot the core is stunning. You can really see the criss cross dust lanes at the center. The Ha has really boosted the detail in M81, and I love PG 28757, is that a satellite galaxy to M81?

In life I rarely use the word amazing . Amazing images Harry! Next time I look at the small smudges of light from M81 and M82 that I see through my scope I will recall these images!

Hi People

Thanks for looking

I do like the use of wavlets , but its not everyones taste:cool:

My images are a marmite special

harry

[peter shah]

Really beautiful harry, you have really shown the detail in both......top stuff

[Zul]

Excellent images!

[ollypenrice]

We have different objectives, Harry, as we both know. I'm after what the galaxies would look like visually if you had a gi-normous telescope with an impossibly fast f ratio. You are after what an image can capture that the eye never could. What you show us here is not what we'd see at any eyepiece but it is full of information, and that was your objective. You've succeeded. Voila!! Good one.

Hi Olly

Thanks I think

Harry

Hi Olly

Thanks I think

Harry

No, delete the 'I think.' I admire what you've done. I don't believe the galaxies 'look like that that' just as the London Underground map doesn't 'look like' the undergound, but it is a masterpiece of information prvoviding. Images, pictures, have different objecitves. Look at the history of art. We don't have to say that Constable is better than Monet, we can say that they had different objectives. T'was ever so.
