M81 + M82 + other galaxies + IFN

[CCD Imager]

A deep image (for me) of the M81/M82 area showing many other features. I processed 25 hours of data in LRGB and Ha. I could have brought out the IFN more, but it was detrimental to the galaxies even with masking, so instead there is more of a subtle glow

Very well done, brilliant image with tons of detail.

Fab shot. I took my first photo of M81/82 last night (and also my first viewing of it) and beginning to play with it. I’ve got a really simple set up so I won’t come close to this but very inspiring for me.
