Description

Bode's Galaxy and the Cigar Galaxy are a favorite target of mine, my second astro-image ever was of these two.  I went back and integrated the multiple sessions from both the small Canon T2i DSLR and the ZWO ASI2600 MC Pro OSC to get this image.    Total acquisition time 7 hr 11 minutes.
