Description

During two weeks of dark, clear skies and really cold weather, I managed to do several nights of imaging. Among other I wanted to do a wide fiels image of the space around M81 and M82, inspired by the many excellent images posted of this area. I came up with 6.5 hrs and managed to bring out the interstellat nebulosity in the area quite nice I think. The link points to a lighter darker version of the same image posted on my web site. Comments and advises are most welcome....
