Description:

Over the course of three nights, I embarked on a 9-hour 25-minute imaging session to capture the stunning Bode's (M81) and Cigar (M82) galaxies with my telescope. Total exposure: 8 hours 10 minutes in broadband, 1 hour 15 minutes with SV220 filter. By using the SvBony SV220 filter, I tried to highlight Ha regions in both galaxies.
