M81, M82, NGC 3077 wide uncropped, 07 Feb 2020
R200SS, corrector PH, D750, EQ6-R, SWED50 + Mgen II guiding, 2:30' x 22 frames (55 min total). ISO 200.
Update: re-edited a touch in Flickr
Near full moon. Mostly testing new equipment. Noticed lots of dew on guide scope lens towards end of session. Did not try to over process image, but satisfied with its breadth of field and sharpness. These galaxies are close enough that they have interacted gravitationally in their past histories.
