Description

Some more clear skies, actually a nice little chunk in a row,  but of course the moon was out in full force. I didn't want to image anything new since I knew the moon would make things difficult so I went back to M81 and M82 again. A lot of why I keep coming back to here is because it's circumpolar and I can image it basically any time of year. This time I leaned heavily in to the Ha. It came out pretty well in M82 and somewhat subtle in M81.

Description: I just wasn't quite happy with it, so I redid it of course. I should be more patient before uploading to Astrobin.
