Last image from this morning. Focus the telescope on #M81 #BodesGalaxy and #M82 #TheCigarGalaxy. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

M81 Bode’s Galaxy and M82 The Cigar Galaxy - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. M81's close, recurring gravitational tug-of-war with its neighbor, M82, the Cigar Galaxy, is what fuels a massive starburst in M82!

M81 Bode’s Galaxy and M82 The Cigar Galaxy - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. M82 is the Cigar Galaxy, a starburst galaxy where stars form 10x faster than in the Milky Way, thanks to M81.

Took out the Odyssey Pro this morning as well. Was having wi-fi problems this morning with the telescope so only have 2 observations. Here is #M81 - #BodesGalaxy. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur

M81 - Bode's Galaxy - telescope processed image. M81 (Bode's Galaxy) is a grand design spiral galaxy in Ursa Major, about 12 million light-years away, and one of the sky's brightest galaxies.

M81 - Bode's Galaxy - unprocessed image. M81, or Bode's Galaxy, is a grand design spiral about 12 million light-years away. Its immense supermassive black hole is 70 million times the Sun's mass.

Another sample of the #OdysseyPro vs the #s50. Here are processed images of #M81 - #BodesGalaxy. With the Odyssey Pro faster slewing and processing times for sure. #space #astronomy #amateur

M81 - Bode's Galaxy - processed image by the Odyssey Pro. M81 is Bode's Galaxy, a grand design spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It's one of the brightest galaxies in our night sky.

M81 - Bode's Galaxy - processed image by the s50. M81's beautiful spiral arms are a result of a gravitational tug-of-war with its neighbor, M82, the Cigar Galaxy, about 300 million years ago.

Next up (while I do my Sunday morning chores) #M81 - #BodesGalaxy. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur

M81 - Bode's Galaxy - telescope processed image. M81, or Bode's Galaxy, is a grand design spiral galaxy located about 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major.

M81 - Bode's Galaxy - unprocessed image. M81 has a supermassive black hole at its core, about 70 million times the mass of the Sun. It's one of the brightest galaxies we can see.

Another one of this morning’s #galaxy observations. #M81 - #BodesGalaxy . #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur

I have been adding more data to a project that I started last year. The image now contains more than 30 hours of data.

Combining H-Alpha- and RGB-Data

Having collected more narrowband data than ever before, a more sophisticated way of combining narrowband and broadband data was required.

Bode's Galaxy and Cigar Galaxy (preliminary result April 2023)

The current status of my long-term project to photograph Bode's Galaxy and the Cigar Galaxy. Due to the weather, probably also the final status for 2023.

Bode's Galaxy and Cigar Galaxy

A combination of broadband data and h-alpha data.

Thanks to Vic Rogers for a cosmic view for Tuesday's WDEF News 12 West Shore Home #WeatherWindow #PictureOfTheDay: "This is a 16minute exposure: #M81 #BodesGalaxy. From twin oaks observatory on Mowbray Mtn last Monday."

I've been spending way too much time in cities lately, but I've finally found some dark sky (even if there is a full moon). Let's see if we can't get a good imaging session going tonight. #astrophotography #astronomy #zwo #bodesgalaxy #m81 #m82
