200mm focal length, but at f/2.8. Canon 5D Mark II, 70-200mm USM II lens, SWSA 2i. 2 and 3 mins of exposures in a mixture of ISO 400-800. I wonder what yall can get out of this, thank to @lost wolf for all his help for the imaging 🙂 ( I posted it in the "processing" section as well)

Thought I would have a go. Nice data. Noticed a bit of trailing, perhaps your exposure times were a bit too long?
For a 200mm focal length, I would say its pretty good data. Thanks for sharing.
Looks very nice to me, thank you. If I could ask, could you perhaps pull out some IFN, and yeah I dont have guiding yet, next time Ill stick to shorter exposures.
Hi!
Sorry I am autistic and really struggle with abbreviations? What do you mean?
Oh im sorry, didnt know. It stands fir integrated flux nebula
Dust around M81 and M82
I think you would need a lot more data to bring out the integrated flux nebula, especially with a dslr!
I think people aim for at least 10 hours. I would also assume you would need good tracking/guiding too.
I will have a look at "over stretching" the data and see what I can find 👍
Caphe captured 1h and 30 mins and got this
And ratbag has processed the file before ioom calibration frames and got this
These are only light frames
Interesting! Yeah I have no experience on Integrated Flux Nebula, as I never get the chance to take long enough exposures myself!
I had a go at over stretching and could see something. Not sure how much of it is noise and how much of it is the Integrated Flux Nebula
Im not sure either, but thank you for your time and help 🙂
My result. I don't have any fancy AI sharpening or denoising, so I focused on the IFN and good star colors. 😄
Love it!
tried pulling out IFN although I'm not sure if its IFN or mostly just noise lol
could mask over colored stars and galaxies from a separate edit to add the color back but i only really focused on the ifn
I’m pretty sure it it’s IFN instead of noise. I would say that it’s better to pull out more data from the IFN than the galaxy itself. I don’t have the focal length to gather more info on the galaxy itself. Thank you for your process!
np! Thanks for sharing the data, I'm hoping to image the IFN this summer
