Description

M109 was a real challenge for me to image. Being so closely postioned to the 2.4 magnitude star Phecda resulted in some serious flares, even with my well baffled telescope. A large amount of post processing effort was spent on trying to minimize the flares. You might still see a hint of it.

Anyway, I'm happy with the result. M109 has been on my to-do list for some time.
