Description

Bodes Galaxy & The Cigar Galaxy imaged on Jan. 29th, Feb. 14th, 17th, 23rd and March 7th & 9th 2015 from a combined 127 subs for a total 7.5 hours. This is the longest I have ever imaged a Galaxy pair with my Hyperstar III Celestron C11 system. The fire from the active core of M82 is showing its activity only after imaging at this length. I hope to do some more imaging of this pair during the upcoming new moon cycle.
