The picture was taken from Nürnberg.

In the object direction, there is a building called "Business Tower" owned by "Nürnberger Versicherung".

The building have a light beam with a power of 60.000 W !

I had problems with the color processing. So i first publish a luminace picture.

Unfortunately, the coma corrector is still tilted.

The original version is processed with following data:

10x L 300s 1x1 -30°C

10x R,G,B 300s 1x1 -30°C (processed as synthetic luminance)

Object description (wikipedia.org) :

Messier 81 (also known as NGC 3031 or Bode's Galaxy) is a spiral galaxy about 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. Due to its proximity to Earth, large size and active galactic nucleus (which harbors a 70 million M☉ supermassive black hole), Messier 81 has been studied extensively by professional astronomers. The galaxy's large size and relatively high brightness also make it a popular target for amateur astronomers.

Messier 81 was first discovered by Johann Elert Bode in 1774. Consequently, the galaxy is sometimes referred to as "Bode's Galaxy". In 1779, Pierre Méchain and Charles Messier reidentified Bode's object, which was subsequently listed in the Messier Catalogue.

Messier 82 (also known as NGC3034, Cigar Galaxy or M82) is a starburst galaxy about 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major and a member of the M81 Group. It is about five times more luminous than the whole Milky Way and has a center one hundred times more luminous than our galaxy's center. The starburst activity is thought to have been triggered by interaction with neighboring galaxy M81. As the closest starburst galaxy to our own, M82 is the prototypical example of this galaxy type. SN 2014J, a type Ia supernova, was observed in the galaxy on 21 January 2014, In 2014, in studying M82, scientists discovered the brightest pulsar yet known, designated M82 X-2.
