M81 & M82 (Sándor Biliczki)

M81 & M82

Revision title: M81 & M82 cropped version

After a long pause, I took this picture of the galaxies M81 and M82 and their surroundings. I deliberately didn't crop the image because it shows such wonderful detail that I didn't have the heart to leave anything out. Weather permitting, I would have liked to have processed at least 50-60 hours of material, but I was already very happy with this 370 5 minute exposures. I made two versions of it, because I would have liked to see more of the surrounding dark nebulae around the two main galaxies, but I'll definitely collect at least that many more images and then maybe I can highlight that better.
In the Ursa Major constellation, besides M81 and M82, the Humbolt galaxy and NGC3077 are also worth mentioning.
I've now made two versions of it, the first showing less of the surrounding nebulae, the second highlighting more.

Description: After a long pause, I took this picture of the galaxies M81 and M82 and their surroundings.

I made two versions of it, because I would have liked to see more of the surrounding dark nebulae around the two main galaxies, but I'll definitely collect at least that many more images and then maybe I can highlight that better.
In the Ursa Major (Big Bear) constellation, besides M81 and M82, the Humbolt galaxy and NGC3077 are also worth mentioning.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
