M81 & M82 and the Interflux nebulae

Nicely detailed and I can certainly make out what you refer to. To check I gave my spectacles a good clean and it was still there! I think/imagine seeing quite a bit more every now and again, but then my eyes are quite high mileage. If by stretching the life out of that image a lot more of the interflux thingy is revealed, then I myself might be tempted to acquire more data. That scope really has its uses, since it could cost a few more times in cost to image using a mono setup.

Thanks for sharing Mike.

Best regards,

Well done Mike, you have pulled out some good detail here. It is interesting, you used the full 242 subs, but I only used 138, as I felt that a number of the subs were not quite up to it, probably because of high cloud floating in - either way we both achieved something! Take care. Simon

Nicely done Mike

Nice one!  Just for a laugh, and to show the difference in quality of data, the attached is M81 and M82 taken from my home obs near Colchester.  184 x 60s subs bin 2x2 using an ASI071MC Pro, Altair Astro 10" RCT and a Losmandy Titan 50 mount (all bought from Steve of course!).  Not bad for Colchester but a far cry from the quality of data under Roboscopes skies!

Hi Mark,

That may be true but that's a pretty good image of M82. Have a cigar. Groannnnnnnnnnnnnn

Apologies,

Ray
