Ursa Major IFN - M81 & M82
This image is around 12 hours of exposure time on the surrounding large region of Integrated Flux Nebula found in the constellation of Ursa Major.
This IFN is incredibly faint requiring long exposures, dark skies and patience.
The two most prominent galaxies are Messier 81 and Messier 82, these are two very commonly photographed galaxies due to their easy nature to find in the sky and they're bright. However, it's much less common to capture the surrounding IFN as unfortunately most people don't have dark enough skies.
This was captured from my garden using a Canon 100mm macro lens (ironically!) and a dedicated ZWO 533MC deep sky camera. This was on my portable Skywatcher star adventurer mount, controlled by NINA and guiding with PHD2.
