Description

Here we have the very widefield view of M81, M82 and the local IFN. I have added some higher res detail on the galaxies. You should be able to zoom in on the image quite successfully. I applied some drizzle integration so that it is possible to see the galaxies at a larger size - in hindsight this was a poor target for this experiment as it made it harder to work with the IFN. Lesson learnt there.

Anyway something different and hope you enjoy.

Rev B - Equalised star sizes from widefield luminance.

Rev C - Reworked (added) detail on galaxies - Rev D FInal touches all i can do without starting again
