M81 and M82 with ha data,

[chuckp]

I added some Hydrogen alpha data the color shot I posted before. I have a total of 8.7 hours of shots. This was taken in Bortle 8 skies between Walmart, Lowes, Burger King and a bunch of car dealers.

Love that Ha data! That’s what I totally miss with using a DSLR. Great job, especially in Bortle 8 skies.

Really pretty, Chuck.

Looks pretty good chuck.

Adding the Hα to this really makes it exciting, as it highlights some amazing physical processes going on in each of the galaxies. The star forming in M81 and in the starburst galaxy M82 both are accentuated here with this new data. Really cool stuff!

Thanks Mike, the Ha data does make it more interesting.
