Description

This was my first attempt to see Integrated Flux Nebula around M81 - M82. Used my Esprit 150 and took LRGB subs during 3 days. Unfortunately the two days were not as clear as the first one and there is noise in the background. R G B filters did not register enough color for the nebula so I had to desaturate the background.
Noise reduction turned IFN into a soup so I decided to upload the image without any noise reduction.
