Description

Hi Everyone,

This is an unusually framed collection of galaxies in the M81 group.
Definitely a WIP since I am trying to figure out how to add about 5 hours of Ha (OSC L-eNhance) data to this broadband data to hopefully bring out some of the Ha areas of both M81 and M82.
Caught only a small glimpse of IFN (if you turn out the lights and crank up the monitor brightness). I guess that both the Ha and IFN are a bit challenging at this field and altitude (<=50 degrees) using a UV/IR cut filter in Bortle 7 skies with limited data.

Thanks for looking!
