Description

Another full Moon tonight. Not a great image but it's the best I can do when imaging

with a full Moon washing out the sky. With all of that said please enjoy my most recent

image of M81 and M82.

Description: Most of my processing time tonight was spent trying
to deal with light from the Moon. I thought I had
it whipped. The background looked flat on my monitor. However when I uploaded the image to
astrobin it was obvious the background was not flat. I did some reprocessing to try and flatten
the background.
