Description

So I decided to do 3 nights on M81/82 again, with LRGB and Ha, Somewhere in the region of
1 night L
1 night RGB
1 night Ha
This time I stacked with APP, combined HaRGB and then went to pixinsight to stretch, remove stars, combine with a processed L (50% synthetic from the HaRGB + 50% from L) saturated and curved, and then finally ran it through topaz denoise.

OLD data revision 1:M81/M82 with my Z103, really loving the scope.. I'm rolling with the asiair and I have to say I am not disappointed at all with this little computer, it saves me a whole lot of time that is best spent imaging. Tracking was done with a 50/200mm Guide scope and a ZWO asi 120mm.
