Messier 81 and 82

Galaxies M81 and M82 from the front yard.

This is my first attempt at imaging faint fuzzies. M81 and M82 are good targets as they are relatively bright and near the celestial pole, allowing me to take longer exposures without a tracking mount.

Canon Rebel XT, Orion ST80 (80mm f/5 achromatic), 40x5s frames at ISO 1600, 10 dark frames, stacked using DeepSkyStacker.
