Description

My latest homage to Johann Bode

Very heavy crop obvs, taken at 800mm focal length 

Delighted to capture the Ha plumes coming out of M82!

14 hours integration taken over five clear nights in January here in Leeds (yes there were five clear nights!) 

Ha 72 x 300s = 6hrs 
Lume 360 x 30s = 3 hrs 
Red 180 x 30s = 1 hrs 30 mins 
Green 210 x 30s = 1 hr 45 mins 
Blue 210 x 30s = 1 hr 45 mins 
= 14hrs

Not many problems on this one, guiding generally good , mirror movement i had in last few attempts solved so that good ! 

Was pleased with how managed to integrate Ha with the RGB
