Description

Two of my favorite galaxies to image.  Bodes Galaxy, and the Cigar galaxy.  I have imaged these two interacting galaxies on numerous occasions.  This night I was able to get a good 30, three hundred second images with no filter, and about 9 with an Lextreme.  This is the first edit with just the no filter images.  I am planning on merging the other 9 images with the Lextreme filter with my next attempt.  I had help from Dave Rust, also here on astrobin.  He is much better at processing than I am...but I am learning from him.  Hope to share the merged image soon.  Clear Skies
