M81 M82


 M81 M82

 

This image of M81 and  M82 was comprised of data obtained in 2020, 2022, and 2023 with two different telescopes and two entirely different CCD and CMOS cameras. There were 499 separate images obtained at 60 second intervals due to light pollution limiting the individual acquisitions. Total acquisition time was 8 1/3 hours.  It was a labor of love with the data obtained on 16 separate nights.
