Description

I managed to capture a few more hours of data on the M81 area with my GT81. Look closely and you'll see the faintest beginnings of Holmberg IX to the left of Bode's. There are a number of other faint fuzzies in there as well. The night sky never ceases to amaze me! I am going to capture more data over time. I wish I was able to take longer than 60" subs, but alas, my sky conditions don't allow for it. Guess I need a better image processing computer
