so so nice
The star color is satisfying, one of the superpowers I've seen from edgehds
One of the most aesthetically pleasing m81's I've seen!
Really neat detail on the dust lanes

7 hours? What bortle are you? I'm actually really liking the small scale details, the seeing must've been incredible.
Thanks! Bortle 5. It's taken a while to tweak the telescope setup to the point I get stars I'm mostly happy with. It also helps that the IMX571 OSC cameras are pretty good in terms of noise (or relative lack of). Seeing here is generally abysmal, so this kind of image is definitely possible almost anywhere
thanks!
thanks! I use masked stretch in PixInsight to keep as much colour as I can in the stars, but this can also show up flaws pretty badly if they're there
