Description

After my first attempt at the M81 and M82, I was intrigued and decided to try a closer FOV. This also became first image from the new scope. The cloudy nights made the imaging session last almost a month and processing was challenging due to high altitude clouds in some of luminance data but I’m happy how it turned out. Would have been thrilled if I could get the IFN (Integrated Flux Nebula) as well but I guess the light pollution makes it really difficult to capture it.

Imaged with Takahashi TSA120, ASI294MM, ASIAIR, Vixen SXD2, EAF, EFW with Astrodon LRGB filters
