Description

Bode's and the Cigar galaxies from my astronomy club's dark-ish site. Had great, clear skies and decided to take the gear out for my first real imaging since I got my guide camera back from repair. Took 7x1800s Ha subs to get as much of the Cigar's "spindle" as possible, combined with 1 hour each of RGB. The Ha also pulled a lot more red out of M81 than I expected. Neat.
