Description

This photo shows the M81 and m82 galaxies surrounded by nebulosity called the Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN.) The IFN is made of dust and gas near the edges of the Milky Way. The dust is illuminated by the collected light from the stars in the Milky Way. M81 and M82 are millions of light years away and not really bathed in the IFN.

The Samyang lens was opened up to f2(wide open)
