M81 and M82 from Monday

[russ]

Took this back on Monday night. Already had the onset of flu and standing out there is probably the reason i'm so ill now (idiot).

Because i was feeling below par, didn't capture as many images as i needed and didn't take the time to focus.

15 images stacked, 90secs each. Antares Sentinel 80, EOS 10D, iso1600.

Right i'm crawling back to my bed. At least it's cloudy for now.

Nice one Russ, looks good to me buddie maybe a few more frames to stack would of helped get the most out of them but still it's nice and great considering how you felt.

Get well soon Russ.

Normally the first thing my wife says but this time she's conceded it's the real McCoy. I was a complete right off for Wednesday and Thursday......nasty little critter!

That's a great image Russ. I guess some things just work better when you're not feeling well, you just don't get as uptight.

I think you're right Martin. Everything was done with the minimal of effect so i could get back indoors. But it seemed to pay off.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
