Messier 81: Bode's Galaxy

[vital pelican]

With the 130pds you could have shot both m81 and m82, why didn’t you?

Great image

[warped patio]

I can't, my sensor is too small

This is uncropped

[vital pelican]

[smoky girder]

bortle 7-8 120s subs with no filter without overexposing?

[warped patio]

120s is the absolute limit

[smoky girder]

my limit is 20-30s before it’s overexposed with uvir cut

[slim sun]

looks great!

[gritty pond]

Are you sure? At 650mm it fits with the 585 for me

Barely so the outer parts of M81 are a bit cropped I think but still it's a cool framing

[tranquil needle]

Nicely done

There’s honestly a couple things that slightly stand out but considering the equipment and skies, still really well done

Love the beauty of the background and ifn but the the galaxy itself has like these red blotchy color noise areas , just made it thru denoise or whatever you did

[warped patio]

It desperately needs more data tbh

[tranquil needle]

yeah thatd do the trick

I could've tried to reduce the blotch with MMT but this was a 3am process which was a bit rushed so I could get it before APOY closed

I woke up the next morning and said "ey not that bad" aand I kept it and posted it

[tranquil needle]

ive named images "_tirededit" at the end before

[warped patio]

I try to make the most out of the conditions I have

Not ideal but can't let that stop me from taking pretty space pics 🤷‍♂️

[tranquil needle]

You def do a good job
