Description

This is one of the images that I will be taking another several shots of. I have a goal of 8 hours worth of exposures here, and I'm doing some preliminary testing before the weather clears up and I am able to do 8 hours within a few nights.

M81 and M82 sure turned out beautiful between the clouds last night - all in all a total of 14 - 5 minute shots here stacked and processed through DSS and PS CS5.

This image was first light with my new Baader MPCC Mk III Coma Corrector. What do you think?
