Messier 81 Widefield

In March 2025, I embarked on an astrophotography project focusing on Messier 81 and its neighboring galaxies. I captured the luminance data at the Hohen List observatory in the Eifel region, while the RGB channels were taken earlier from my home in Koblenz. Combining these, I achieved a total exposure time of 6 hours and 20 minutes. The resulting widefield image prominently features Messier 81 at the center, with Messier 82 to its left, the Garland Galaxy below, and NGC 2976 in the upper right. This project served as a testament to the capabilities of my telescope-camera setup, delivering impressive results even with a relatively short integration time.
