Description

This image of M81 is composed of about 7.5 hours of total exposure time. I wanted to include M82 as well, but my field of view is rather small and without a coma corrector it would not be too good, so I'll have to make a panorama to include M82 as well. You can just barely see Holmberg IX as well as a lot of distant background galaxies. Overall I'm happy with how this turned out. Processed mainly in Pixinsight.
