A wide field capture of the area surrounding Bode's Galaxy (M81), including nearby Cigar Galaxy (M82). Taken from the banks of the Skykomish River.
M81 imaged over 5 sessions and 1 year.
M81 (Bode's Galaxy) and M82 (The Cigar Galaxy) are in the same field of view for shorter focal lengths. This is a mosaic that integrates a photograph containing both galaxies with a bath bag on your happy minds.
One of the brightest galaxies in the night sky, Bode's Galaxy is believed to contain a black hole in the center that is 70 million times the mass of the sun.
I shot this image with two sets. One was with a UV/IR cut filter, the other with a 7 nanometer narrowband for Ha and OII.
