Description

Had no idea on what to shoot using my second EQ3-2 mount and my APO 66/400 doublet.

Too poor mount for emission nebulae on horizon... A litte bit short focal for galaxy shooting... Whatever ! I choose M81/82 and I think this wasn't a bad idea at all to finally collect those galaxies.

I uploaded the first version to show the work performed to obtain the second version...

The second version is a Drizzle x2 obtained with DSS, deconvoluted by Iris and coloured / softened by rawtherapy.

Cost me a lot of time but well spent as the result is simply amazing.

Please just don't zoom at it as deconvolution has ruined the stars.
