Diese Aufnahme aus der vorletzten Nacht zeigt in der Mitte Bodes Galaxie (M81) in 12 Millionen Lichtjahren Entfernung. Sie hat einen Durchmesser von 82.000 Lichtjahren und besteht aus rund 200 Milliarden Sternen. Oben links sieht man die Zigarrengalaxie (M82). Sie ist ähnlich weit entfernt, hat aber nur etwa den halben Durchmesser von Bodes Galaxie.

Combining H-Alpha- and RGB-Data

Having collected more narrowband data than ever before, a more sophisticated way of combining narrowband and broadband data was required.

Bode's Galaxy and Cigar Galaxy (preliminary result April 2023)

The current status of my long-term project to photograph Bode's Galaxy and the Cigar Galaxy. Due to the weather, probably also the final status for 2023.

Thanks to Vic Rogers for a cosmic view for Tuesday's WDEF News 12 West Shore Home #WeatherWindow #PictureOfTheDay: "This is a 16minute exposure: #M81 #BodesGalaxy. From twin oaks observatory on Mowbray Mtn last Monday."

Messier 81 (M81) - Bode's Galaxy, a grand design spiral galaxy and Messier 82 (M82) - Cigar Galaxy, a starbusrt galaxy.

The M81 and M82 galaxies are part of the M81 Group in the Ursa Major constellation. The M81 Group is one of the nearest to the Local Group and is part of the Virgo Supercluster.

This image is composed from a stack of 150 four minute sub-exposures (10h total) I shot over two nights on March 11 and 24 from a Bortle 6 (bright suburban) light polluted sky. Imaging equipment: Askar FRA400 refractor telescope, ZWO ASI183MC Pro RGB camera and an Optolong L-Pro light pollution filter on a HEQ5 mount.

Captured with Kstars, Ekos and PHD2 on Astroberry. Processing with Pixinsight, StarNet and Darktable.

M81 and M82 captured from New Mexico. This is the first clear night I’ve had in a couple months so it was nice to get the gear out. 6 hours of RGB data. #zwoam5 #asi294mmpro #at115edt #newmexico #deming #cityofrocksstatepark #astronomy #astrophotography #m81 #m82 #pixinsight

I've been spending way too much time in cities lately, but I've finally found some dark sky (even if there is a full moon). Let's see if we can't get a good imaging session going tonight. #astrophotography #astronomy #zwo #bodesgalaxy #m81 #m82

A wide field picture taken from my backyard in February: M81 (Bodes’s galaxy), M82 (cigar galaxy) along with many small galaxies in the Ursa Major constellation. On the foreground, clouds of gas and dust (integrated flux nebulae, IFN) are faintly illuminated by the light of our home galaxy, the Milky Way.

Total exposure time: 30h
Processing: Siril, Pixinsight, DxO Photolab

Here are M81 and M82, taken 2 weeks ago now. These 2 galaxies are absolutely magnificent to contemplate in a telescopeIf you want to start looking at the sky, I highly recommend them!

Setup :
🔭 FRA500 on SkyWatcher EQ6-R pro mount
📷 ASI 294MC
➕ 0.7 reducer, L-pro filter

One of my favorite observation targets. They galaxy pair show reasonably well in. My 6 inch #rft and my #nexstar5. #m81 and #m82 are even visible in my 60mm refractor.

First light with my AT102ED: a quick 15-minute exposure of M81, Bode’s Galaxy, in very poor seeing conditions. Despite that, I’m pleased with the optics and very excited to do some visual observing!

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography #M81 and #M82 (Bode's and Cigar) are two galaxies in Ursa Major about 12 million light years from Earth. Capturing this image took about an hour and a half (16 images of 5 minutes each) last night. I didn't have much time for processing today but I like that this quick start is already showing the spiral shape of Bode's and the bulge in the middle of Cigar. #StillLearning

Then the famous #M81 and #M82 couple. Look at the zoom for both!

M81

Magnitude 6.94 grand design spiral galaxy located 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered by Johann Elert Bode in 1774 and thus is referred to as "Bode's Galaxy".

Debian is the universal operating system.

The Debian "swirl" logo does resemble a galaxy.

For example, Messier 81, also known as M81, is one of the brightest spiral galaxies in the night sky.
