Description

A revisit of old companions, but what a challenge...







The final image is heavily cropped, maybe only 20% used, mainly to please the eye and make it a bit more interesting. Multiple attempts were needed by me to get some detail from M81, M82, etc and inbetween not destroying something else, so several different masks were needed to get at least a bit of "proper looking image" that I marked as reasonable.







Hope you enjoyed the result as well. Until a future re-attempt via the 8" SCT or WO71.
