Another go at M81

[Dark Horizon]

Hi folks this one is a bit better than my first image of 6 years, but the conditions were pants, which contributed to some teething issues...

This one comprises only the 5 better frames outta the 15 That I captured.

So, 5 x 7min subs, no filters (127mm Triplet and atik 428ex) stacked in DSS and fiddled with in photoshop.

Hope you like.

Very nice!  Looks good to me.

That's nice

Very nice.  There's loads of fine detail in here.  I like this a lot.

cracking image well done

[kirkster501]

Very nice again.  You've slightly overstretched it and burned out the core though.  A common problem with M81 and M31 too.  A nice image all the same though!

Cheers for the input folk. That core will become much easier to control when I have more data to play with, kirkster, but thanks for highlighting it cos I'd not really spotted that I'd pushed it too far. I'll do better next time (fingers crossed).

Nice shot more subs in better conditions will help bring out the outer regions of the galaxy
