Description

Been wanting to shoot Bode's and Cigar since I started this hobby last summer.   I didn't expect I would be doing it in widefield.  The structures of IFN around this area are pretty amazing.   What makes me really love this image though is all the little galaxies.   My personal favorite is NGC 2959 at the bottom of the image.  Like a pearl, she's glowing in the dark.   This is my most ambitious project yet, and I have no doubt I will continue to grab more data on it in the coming months.
