Description

This is around 12 hrs of exposure time over several days. I'm happy with it. 🤓

LRGB -100 subs each at 90 seconds

Messier 81 and Messier 82 galaxies are part of the M81 Group, a group of 34 galaxies in Ursa Major and Camelopardalis constellations. Due to the distance of approximately 12M light years from Earth, this group together with the Local Group (containing the Milky Way) are relative neighbors in the Virgo Supercluster.

I really have to thank Shawn Nielsen and his youtube videos. I was about to give up on Pixinsightl. I recommend anyone that is struggling with Pixinsight take a look.
