Description

This is a reprocess of my data from nearly two years ago and I have learned a bit more about processing since then so it looks so different that I post it separately. Most of the processing done in PS but in addition I used for the first time deconvolution and HDRM in PI. I also re-stacked it in PI, which I found often does it better than Nebulosity.

In version B I have made an effort of bringing out more faint stuff, including some IFN, a bit more of the red leaking out of M82, and Holmberg IX - the irregular dwarf galaxy and a satellite galaxy of M81 that is the blue faint fuzzy below M82
