Description

This was my 2nd attempt at M81 and M82 in the past 2 years. These galaxies are so hard to process for me. Such bad gradients. I was not able to combine my ES102 data of additional 4 hours of LRGB and additional 2 hours of HA and 1 hour of OIII because I am having trouble getting good flats. I accidentally bumped my filter wheel and lost its exact location on the telescope.

In addition, my focus was slight off on my Meade 12" SCT. Awe well will try again. That's what is fun about this hobby.
