Description

Through most of the nights capturing this one, conditions were basically horrible, with thin high altitude clouds and moon ruining seeing. The long total integration time was needed to just get a passable image together. This was my second time capturing M81 and both times was in bad conditions. One day I'll get to it in better conditions.
