Another M81

[AstroAndy]

Hello All

Things finally came together at my Bortle 4 site (except for some truck shining his bright lights from far away after midnight, had to use all my wizardry to kill a mega gradient), so here's M81, 3:20hrs worth of it in 10min. subs with 14 prime-grade flats, shot with an Atik 383 mono thru a C11 (0.7 reducer, OAG) on a EQ8 pro, guided by ZWO ASI 294mm pro(PHD2), no moon. Processed in DSS & PS CS2. Hope to get the colors for it soon, but it's a right slog with this heavy equipment far from home, and having to work the next day. C&C welcome.

That looks excellent Andy, loads of detail to enjoy at full resolution.  Some sizable amount of kit to travel with, can understand the challenge.

Thanks for the reply, Lee...sadly, the colors fell by the wayside for now. You know how astronomers say don't dew it. Unfortunately, in my blue and ha subs, I dewed it. Now, wit my brand new heated do-shield, I won't dew it anymore. However, too much Moon now, so I have to wait.
