Description

I finally had a clear night. I wanted to get some practice with my AT72ED to see what it can and

can't do. I decided to image M81 and M82 because I've not imaged these objects with my

AT72ED scope. I took a test shot to check my framing and focus. At first I did not like the

framing because M81 and M82 were not centered. However I noticed that I had also captured

dwarf galaxies NGC 2976 and NGC 3077. I decided to leave the framing like it was because I

felt having all four galaxies in the field of view would make a nice wide field image.
