Description

I wanted to see how my new ASI294MC-Pro worked on galaxies, and M81 was nicely positioned. Despite a whole batch of flats and darks, the background noise was almost unmanageable. Some tactical darkening of the background and heavy MLT processing in Pixinsight brought it down to the passable level you see here.
