Description

m81_82 captured in HaLRGB and processed in HaL+L synthetic for luminance layer and in HaR_GB for color layer. Star color are built from RGB layer only.

Final revision with luminance captured with lens 200mm f/2.8 to get more I.F.N. signal.

My longest exposure time integration and processing time as well!!!! I am rewarded with visibility of I.F.N. (Integrated Flux Nebula). Moon light was not that favorable during those sessions so I started first with Ha filter mid of March and finished with luminance one on 4th of April to get as less as possible impact.
