Latest Starshoot Try: M81 M82 Mosaic

Hello, all;

Here is my latest Starshoot image. A two frame mosaic (cropped) of M81 and M82, taken with my APO-graded Zenithstar 80 and WO 0.8x reducer.

The star color is due to my poor balancing.....still having some problems.

Total exposure time of about an hour, under polluted skies, explaining the low S/N ratio.

Looks pretty good. I can tell there is still a lot of "hidden data" there. you might try to process it further. The detail is there, you just need to coax it out!!
