There is nothing poor about this Rui, It is a very creditable image.

Please post it again, I would like to see any Improvement you can make. I like it a lot. Do you plan to add colour?

Don't do yourself down Rui, you've also managed to get HolmbergIX - the fuzzy below M81 - which is no mean feat.

Not poor at all. Great data and it doesn't look like you've had to push it too hard.

Another 4 hours and it will be really good.

Cheers

That's a very nice M81, will be great with the extra 4h you mention. Interesting seeing the satellite galaxy that John mentioned. Not noticed that one before.

Lovely result, nothing wrong with that at all

That's a very nice image of one half of my fav DSO target. Some really nice fine detail in the arms. Look forward to seeing the image with 4hrs data added.

Lovely image, to be honest I like the mono as it is more representative of what I would see with my eyes. Fantastic.

ED80 and a 314L?

Scale looks very different to what I see with the same setup? or did you use the 16IC?

Great image btw!

[Coolhandjo]

Good image as there is no blow out of the inner core! Colour will bring that out well!

Yes it was with the ED80 and 314l, the use for 16IC autoguiding

Thank you all for comments

Just look at the difference the extra time has made to the dust detail! M81 is one of those galaxies that just gtes better and better with more time.

What sub length are you using for the Atik on this? What f number is the ed80?

Are you planning a Ha layer too? This will look lovely all coloured in
