M81 & M82

[AstroExploring]

First time I’ve ever shot these targets and I’m really pleased with the results. No filters used but I live in class 4 skies so it’s reasonably dark. Same image, I just cropped it to see if I could pull more detail out. 
Far from perfect but I’m really pleased with the result! 
90x 2-minute subs with flats and bias

Thanks for looking

Nick,

Enjoying what you're doing is what it's all about. Nice image. I never get tired of looking at M81 and M82. Thank you.

 

Glen.

Nice images.  Could probably benefit from this, I've found it a good way to tame a gradient, probably not the best solution, but works to some degree

Hey Adam, thanks for the tip. I did download that and use it on my image, worked really well on the cropped version but not so much on the full image. I need to try it out properly but it definitely made a big difference

Nick,

I also took this image of M81 and M82, but would like to know if I have captured some other faint little fuzzies.
