    M81 has always been one of my favorite galaxies for sentimental reasons, as it was my very first astrophotography target (alongside M82). The details in this image are stunning! This winter was pretty rough on my end as well and I'm looking forward to spring now that it's here. Continue keeping up the great work Trevor, and I hope you have a great Galaxy Season!

    I did exactly this just yesterday! Of course my result is a million miles away from yours, but I think the joy of an evening under a clear sky is probably similar 🤩🥰! And although I only have a 6‘‘ SC-refractor on an alt-az-mount with my daily Canon DSLR mounted behind it, it could still clearly be recognized as Bodes Galaxy, with the bright center, even some arms in there, and the first ring around it - and I loved it! 12 million lightyears! It just blows me away again and again! Huge congrats to your work, it‘s stunning again and again what level you have achieved 👍👍! Greetings from Switzerland.

    Surprising to see you get such good guiding with a scope instead of OAG. My 60mm guide scope works great when shooting at f1.9 from the front of my rig, but I finally gave up trying to get round stars with my camera in the back at f10 or f7. Dean and Scott at Starizona dialed in my backfocus distance for me and the new 220 mini made the transition easier that I thought, but I do have to plan camera rotation beforehand on some targets. Good to see you were able to avoid that and make the guide scope work so well instead. Cheers!
