Description

Galaxies Messier 81 and 82 with NGC 3077. This is a combination of data using my OSC camera with UVIR and Optolong L-Ultimate filters. The IFN around these galaxies was clearly in the data so I attempted to allow it to show through without being overwhelming. This is the first time I have really noticed it showing up in my OSC images taken at my home location. Typically it is the realm of mono camera luminance data for me from much darker skies. OSC cameras are definitely getting better.
