I finally got a clear night after waiting a month… so I just completed capturing Bode's Galaxy (M81). This photo now includes 20 hours of data in HaLRGB. I truly love how it turned out! ❤️❤️❤️

First of the 🔭 subs coming through of #M81 the #BodesGalaxy this is my 3rd night of data gathering.
A screenshot of the ASIAIR astrophotography app interface displaying a live capture of Bode's Galaxy (M81). ​The galaxy appears at the center as a bright, glowing white nucleus surrounded by soft, yellowish-grey spiral arms against a grainy, star-speckled dark sky. The app's user interface overlays the image, featuring a guiding graph in the top left, telescope control icons along the top and left margins, and technical data at the bottom including a gain of 100 and a sensor temperature of -10.0°C. A progress ring on the right indicates a 108-second exposure in progress.

Next up for the Dwarf Mini is #m82 - #thecigargalaxy. At the bottom you can see part of #m81 - #BodesGalaxy. #dwarflabs #dwarfmini #space #astronomy #amateur
M82 - The Cigar Galaxy - telescope processed image. M82 is a starburst galaxy producing new stars 10 times faster than the Milky Way, fueled by a past close gravitational encounter with its neighbor, M81. M82 - The Cigar Galaxy - unprocessed image. Intense stellar winds from supernovae blast massive, glowing red plumes of hydrogen gas thousands of light-years out into space from the galaxy's center.

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.

First image from the Dwarf Mini from last night. Headed over to observe #m81 #BodesGalaxy. To the right is #ngc3077 #galaxy. At the top you can start to make out #m82 - #thecigargalaxy. #dwarflabs #dwarfmini #space #astronomy #amateur
M81 Bode's Galaxy / NGC 3077 Galaxy - telescope processed image. M81 is a grand design spiral galaxy whose strong gravitational tidal forces are actively triggering intense star formation in its nearby cosmic neighbors. M81 Bode's Galaxy / NGC 3077 Galaxy - unprocessed image. NGC 3077 is a disrupted dwarf galaxy showing scarred, distorted dust lanes and a burst of star formation caused by a recent close gravitational encounter with M81.

Good Saturday morning. Set up the s50 and Dwarf Mini last night. Starting with the s50’s observation of (from top to bottom) #m82 #thecigargalaxy / #m81 #BodesGalaxy. #seestar #s50 #space #astronomy #amateur
M82 The Cigar Galaxy / M81 Bode’s Galaxy - telescope processed image. Bode’s galaxy is a stunning grand-design spiral galaxy about 12 million light-years away, famous for its nearly perfect, sweeping symmetric arms. M82 The Cigar Galaxy / M81 Bode’s Galaxy - unprocessed image. The Cigar Galaxy is a brilliant starburst galaxy being distorted by M81's gravity, triggering rapid star formation and massive red plumes of glowing gas.

NGC 3077 Galaxy / M81 Bode’s Galaxy - telescope processed image. M81 (Bode’s Galaxy): This grand design spiral is surprisingly bright because its supermassive black hole is actively gobbling up nearby gas and dust.

Last image of the night for the Dwarf Mini. Another observation of #m81 #BodesGalaxy. To the left side you can see #ngc3077 #galaxy. #dwarflabs #dwarfmini #space #astronomy #amateur
M81 Bode's Galaxy / NGC 3077 Galaxy - telescope processed image. M81 is a "grand design" spiral roughly 12 million light-years away. Its massive central black hole is about 70 million times the mass of our Sun. M81 Bode's Galaxy / NGC 3077 Galaxy - unprocessed image. NGC 3077 is a member of the M81 Group. Interactions with M81 and M82 have triggered bursts of star formation and created complex, wispy dust filaments.

Went to reimage #m82 #thecigargalaxy. Had a guess appearance by #m81 #BodesGalaxy. #seestar #s50 #space #astronomy #amateur
M82 The Cigar Galaxy - telescope processed image. M82 is a "starburst" galaxy, forming stars 10 times faster than the Milky Way due to a close gravitational brush with its neighbor, M81. M82 The Cigar Galaxy - unprocessed image. Intense star formation creates a "superwind" that blasts glowing hydrogen gas thousands of light-years out from its center.

M81 - Bode's Galaxy - telescope processed image. M81 is a "grand design" spiral galaxy, meaning its arms are incredibly well-defined and wind seamlessly into its glowing center. M81 - Bode's Galaxy - unprocessed image. Its heart holds a black hole with a mass of 70 million Suns, roughly 15 times more massive than the one in our Milky Way.

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.
