M81 & M82

Two galaxies as imaged with an A-P 130 EDF at f/4.5, Canon 20D, 8x6min ISO1600, STV guided, EM-200 mount. The wind had died down when I got to these galaxies and tracking was nice and smooth. I feel that I could have increased exposure times to 8min as it was extremely cold up there. These two galaxies are relatively challenging for a DSLR, but their nice location in the North makes imaging easier.
Thanks for looking,
Ivan

Well done Ivan.
It's nice to see them framed together.

Good job Ivan. Two in one hit. Amazing the stellar density differences. That scope at f4.5 would have sucked the stars up if there.
