Description

M81 & 82 Bode's Galaxy: A Post Processing Project

Galaxy season is coming so I thought I would run a practice post processing using data obtained in 2013 by an unknown astrophotographer. I downloaded this data in 2018 from a website that is no longer there.

His/her gear used was Orion 8” Newtonian f/3.9; Nikon D300 (Visible + Ha); Baader Moon & Skyglow Filter; Celestron CGEM mount; 80s / 400 ISO; 35 Light, 31 Darks, 61 Flats, 60 Dark Flats, and imaged 3/09/2013 and 80s / 400 ISO; 29 Light, 26 Darks, 39 Flats, 40 Dark Flats, and imaged 3/12/2013. This data was processed with Deep Sky Stacker, Star Tools 1.6, and Photoshop 2021.
