Messier 81 (right), also known as NGC 3031 or Bode’s galaxy for its 18th century discoverer, this grand spiral can be found toward the northern constellation of Ursa Major, the Great Bear. M82(left)is a starburst galaxy about 30,000 light-years across. It lies 12 million light-years away near the northern boundary of Ursa Major. Triggered by a close encounter with M81, the furious burst of star formation in M82 should last about 100 million years or so.

Done in a hurry a week ago. Still experimenting with NINA and slowly getting there. Giving myself extra work / problems using the SLCC for deep sky stuff – slight rugby ball stars. Other issues, need dew straps for SLCC, also a field flattener ?
Lastly plate solving is tricky, & need to do NINA darks !
