Bode's Nebula

Description

Bode's Nebula - M81 and M82. Didn't stretch it as much as the Luminance only shot since I wanted the data to look a bit smoother. Holmberg IX is still faintly visible. The Ha data brings out the star-forming regions pretty well. Compare this with my previous attempts: M81 and M82 together and M82 . What a difference a year makes!

Reprocess of this data to bring out more color detail in M81 here.

Let me know what you think.
