Let me tell you about M81. I have 39 hours of LRGB from Bortle 4. Tons of IFN. Between the galaxies, stars, and IFN, this was the most difficult dataset I've ever processed. Partly due to my lack of knowledge and partly due to the massive difference in data type throughout the image. I have learned a lot about data processing but this was for sure my greatest challenge. My setup is a Meade Quad 70mm, ASI2600MM and Chroma filters. Keep up the great work. Love your channel.
This is a very nice format. Lots of information and just getting to see you both makes the hobby fun. -16 C tonight and L-eNhance imaging the Seagull. Thankfully the clouds have gone after a very long time. Clear, dark, and slightly warmer skies.
Thanks for this introducing video. I'm curious to see what I can get with my setup (dslr nikon d5600, star adventurer 2i, 900mm f/8 catadioptric lens).
Well thankyou for my new target. I'm gonna hit M81 on my next dark site trip. Witch should be in the next couple weeks. I'll share the images on your Facebook.
I have imaged M81 and M82 last year with a 180mm lens and a fixed tripod. Very small in the frame and very noisy, but I was still amazed to see the two little fuzzy balls in my screen after stacking roughly thousand frames and stretched. This year I got myself a 5 inch scope, really looking forward to seeing them through the eyepiece when spring comes!
A small correction about what you said on 4:13, the IFN is intergalactic dust, not interstellar. Nice video as always! I’m currently shooting a widefield m81 + m82 + IFN 🙌🏼
M81 one of my favourite objects; however, I’ve never seen it in person as it never rises above my northern horizon (I am in Australia). I never knew about the interstellar dust.
i actually imaged the bode's galaxies and for some reason i thought that greenish blue of m81 wasnt what it supposed to look like so i overtinted it and ended up with magenta arms😂😂😂😂 but nevertheless i loved it, the m81 and m82 galaxies were the first galaxies i imaged after the andromeda triplet as i call it, m31, m32 and m110
I capture this target for few days with LRGB, because I don't have any nebula after midnight to dawn in my area. my view was blocked in the back yard. but it's hard in bortle 6. do you think the LiPro will help?

I was just about to image M81 for the first time tonight, what great timing for this video to come out!
Love to see this! now I am going to have to go for it again. Will have come questions on the discord for sure. Thanks for the informaiton guys...
Interesting idea for a series! As always you give a superb presentation, great job guys! :-D
Thanks you guys! So far I have just imaged Bodes and the Cigar with my smartphone and 5" Dob. Just got a Canon 1000D, cant wait to try it!

Thank you CJ and good luck on the Seagull!

What a coincidence, I was literally capturing M81, M82 and surrounding IFN at the time this video was released haha
Respect your lady dude! Wow!
Thank you for another interesting video! I will deffenitly give M81 a try some day, (or night is better I guess) 🤭👍

Great idea for a show!! But I was hoping to hear some advanced tips for imaging Bode's.

It's a nice galaxy indeed. Unfortunately it never rises from my location. Great video.

Thank you for clarifying that!! I knew it didn't sound right, I should have double checked when I edited the video, thanks!
Would an L-eXtreme filter work well?
Will I be able to capture this with a canon 300mm lens?
