Description:

Last night, no clouds, seeing poor, (of course). Decided to try once again for a decent image of M 81, Bodes Galaxy. I’ve never gotten an image that had a nice balance of color AND clarity. It took a little extra effort to remove the moon glow and light pollution but I'm glad I went out last night to catch this. I’m actually very happy with the result. __________________________________________________________ M 81, Bodes Galaxy Distance, 11.74 million light years away.
