M81 & M82

When you've not shot astro for two months, there's a clear sky all night but no astro-dark, just twilight, and you're feeling sub-par with the Plague(TM), the Dwarf.II scope has its uses after all.

2hr13min before the battery gave out - 532 frames of which the best 90% were chosen and stacked in @Siril_Official , processed with GraXpert, NoiseXterminator and finished in Affinity.

Messier 81 – Bode’s Galaxy
Messier 81 is a spiral galaxy with a diameter of about 90,000 light-years and a distance of about 12 million light-years from Earth.

The details are much clearer, especially on the Cigar Galaxy. … #Bode'sGalaxy #CigarGalaxy #GarlandGalaxy #M81 #M82 #Messier81 #Messier82 #NGC3031 #NGC3034 #NGC3077 #UGC5318 #UGC5322 #UGC5398 #clearskies

Messier 81 (M81) - Bode's Galaxy, a grand design spiral galaxy and Messier 82 (M82) - Cigar Galaxy, a starbusrt galaxy.

The M81 and M82 galaxies are part of the M81 Group in the Ursa Major constellation. The M81 Group is one of the nearest to the Local Group and is part of the Virgo Supercluster.

This image is composed from a stack of 150 four minute sub-exposures (10h total) I shot over two nights on March 11 and 24 from a Bortle 6 (bright suburban) light polluted sky. Imaging equipment: Askar FRA400 refractor telescope, ZWO ASI183MC Pro RGB camera and an Optolong L-Pro light pollution filter on a HEQ5 mount.

Captured with Kstars, Ekos and PHD2 on Astroberry. Processing with Pixinsight, StarNet and Darktable.

M81 and M82 captured from New Mexico. This is the first clear night I’ve had in a couple months so it was nice to get the gear out. 6 hours of RGB data. #zwoam5 #asi294mmpro #at115edt #newmexico #deming #cityofrocksstatepark #astronomy #astrophotography #m81 #m82 #pixinsight

I've been spending way too much time in cities lately, but I've finally found some dark sky (even if there is a full moon). Let's see if we can't get a good imaging session going tonight. #astrophotography #astronomy #zwo #bodesgalaxy #m81 #m82

A wide field picture taken from my backyard in February: M81 (Bodes’s galaxy), M82 (cigar galaxy) along with many small galaxies in the Ursa Major constellation. On the foreground, clouds of gas and dust (integrated flux nebulae, IFN) are faintly illuminated by the light of our home galaxy, the Milky Way.

Total exposure time: 30h
Processing: Siril, Pixinsight, DxO Photolab

Here are M81 and M82, taken 2 weeks ago now. These 2 galaxies are absolutely magnificent to contemplate in a telescopeIf you want to start looking at the sky, I highly recommend them!

Setup :
FRA500 on SkyWatcher EQ6-R pro mount
ASI 294MC
0.7 reducer, L-pro filter

@catherineryanhyde
One of my favorite observation targets. They galaxy pair show reasonably well in. My 6 inch #rft and my #nexstar5. #m81 and #m82 are even visible in my 60mm refractor.
