Description

This data is from @Insight Observatory  - AFIL-1 telescope.

This is a two-panel mosaic, combined and processed in PixInsight. Looking at the image more closely, deep H-alpha signal can be seen in the M81 spiral arms, and what fascinates me are the details of the M82, lots of integration time has revealed the outer Ha-stream. Combining luminance and Ha to RGB image was difficult, but in the end, I am satisfied with the result.
