Description:

M81 in a LHRGB composition. In the lower part of the AGN of this Seyfert Galaxy, there are some dark dust lines that cross the arms of the galaxy. Those lines should be part of IFN from our Milky way, and due to the perspective, they seems to be part of the galaxy. There are many star forming regions in the arms: they are visible thanks to a deep h-alpha session that enhanced the red emission nebulae.
