Lovely Les... The detail in there is amazing - how much did you have to crop on that?

I was impressed by the colour contrast in your image then read down the comments till I saw your rework of your friend's NGC2903. I have good data for this and a lousy result so I will be reading up on that link PDQ. Thanks for that. Maybe I should send you mine!!

Nice M81 anyway,

Olly.

Thanks TJ and John I hope to add a few more hours to it, the sky looks good for tomorrow but just had 7" of snow so the ground cover will light up the sky you just can't win
