Description

Although a 90mm refractor at 432mm focal length is not ideal for galaxy season, I was keen to see what I could capture imaging M81 and M82. And being widefield, I was also keen to capture the IFN. I was also surprised by the number of smaller galaxies showing up in the field of view.
It might seem like I captured a disproportionate amount of Ha but  blame the moon for that .
Whilst part of the goal was to capture the IFN, I didn't want it to overwhelm the image with IFN at the expense of the detail I was able to get at this focal length in M81 and M82 and the smaller galaxies in the background (personal taste I guess ).
