Description

Project: 0026a

During the winter of 2020-2021 M81 and M82 were my goto targets whenever I was waiting for my main targets to appear. 
Also, I just received my L-Extreme dual narrowband filter. I decided to try it out on these galaxies since there weren't any big Ha targets visible from my backyard and I can get to these galaxies all year round.  In the end I only decided to use a small amount of Ha in this image. I imagine more Ha will make it into my M82 soon.
--- UPDATE---
I did end up using all Ha and OIII in my M82 image.
