M81 & M82 IFN WideField

Hi Guys,

This is my new finalized image taken with my new SW EQ8-RH PRO mount.

I've taken a 3.9° x 3.9° widefield on the M81 & M82 area showing the IFN background clouds with galaxies.

Material and acquisitions details below :

For the fun, this is the Starless version of my image.

Great result. Demonstrates why it's so hard to do background extraction on this area in PI; various colours and gradients that are just about peaking through the noise in my data!

With a sense of guilt I say that I absolutely love the starless version most. Never thought I would say that but, it gives me a sense of approach in a starship where stars in our milky way are long left behind.

Beautiful images!
