M81 LRGB approximately 7;25hrs

[AstroAndy]

Hello all

After about 4/1/2 months, I was finally able to get the color and ha subs for M81. So, here it is, warts and all, 3:25hrs lum., in 10, 5, 3, and 1 min subs, about 1hr each at 5 min for RGB, and another hr. or so in 5m ha subs, no calibration frames (being that it was the last clear day with only 43% Moon during the week, I had to drive from work to my dark site, do my thing, and go back to work the next morning, fun times).

Great image and dedication to gathering those photons?

[AstroAndy]

Thanks, still not optimal (what with orientation and such), but I've been after the RGB for awhile now (including 2-3 trips to my dark site, supposedly clear, but of course not ?, and one where it was clear but windy).

Very nice image Andy.The Ha regions showing nicely.

Ty Mick, I probably should have introduced at tad more, but then, I didn't want to overdo it.
