Description

This is Bode's Galaxy, M81 & M82, plus a whole bunch more galaxies if you look closely.  This was imaged on five nights in my back yard, Bortle 5/6 in Southwest Florida.  Shot in L, R, G, B I used 300 second subs, stacked in APP with Darks, Flats, and Bias frames.  Shot using an Explore Scientific 127 with a .7 Field Flattener/Focal Reducer.  Sky Watcher EQ6-R Pro mount.
