A pair of galaxies
Designated Messier 81 (top right - Bode's galaxy) and Messier 82 (Cigar galaxy), this pair of galaxies about 12 million light years away in the constellation of Ursa Major are visible throughout the year from UK latitudes.

Imaged over 3 sessions for a total of:
L - 60 x 120s (~ 2 hrs)
RGB - 120 x 60s (~ 2 hrs each)
Ha - 30 x 120s (~ 1 hr)
