Bode & Cigar galaxy
I tried to image both Bode & Cigar galaxies (M81 & M82 respectively) in one frame. These galaxies are about 12 million light years from Earth. They are located in Ursa Major constellation. Bode galaxy is larger than Cigar galaxy, but the later has very strong star bursting ejection from the center of the galaxy. Gear setup:Celestron HD 8@ f/7, iOprton GEM45, Celestron OAG, ZWO 174, ZWO 2600MC @-10, Antlia RGB Triband ultra. Captured by APT, PHD2. Light subs 142 x 180sec, 20 Darks, 20 Flats, 50 Bias. Exposure time 7 hours. Imaged from Bortle 4 sky. Processed in PI & PS.
