Bodes and cigar

Haven't been feeling too wonderful lately, so haven't done much work with my scope at all. Decided to ease myself back into it by going after this pair. 

These galaxies featured in my first ever exposure with my equipment back in Dec17/Jan 18. I'd never used an eq mount before and I remember running up the stairs shouting that I had galaxies haha on a simple 30s exposure. 

Its always good to revisit things
