Description

A crop of M81, M82, and NGC3077 taken with a WO GT81 and a Nikon D5300.  We had a pretty clear night, but with a lot of moon, so I thought to give galaxies a shot.  

This is using an ES field flattener, rather than the WO flattener/reducer.   I wanted as much focal length as I could get and am quite happy with the results from ES.

 Stacked in APP, further processing using Pixinsight.

Thanks for looking,

Russ
