Description

Widefield image of M81 and M82 Galaxies with surrounding galaxies and integrate flux nebula shot with my QHY128C one shot color camera. I shot some shorter exposures at 120s and added it to this because I am used to doing that with my previous cameras, but honestly the dynamic range is so large on this camera I really didn't need to do it.

Sequence Generator Pro

PHD2
