M81 and M82 with some Galactic cirrus

Observation Notes

This image was taken under pretty mediocre conditions when I was testing out my mobile imaging rig. Main challenge in processing was to work out the Galactic cirrus (and discriminate light pollution gradients) - which I accomplished by using a even wider field image with my Samyang 135mm and apply the multiscale gradient removal technique (which worked like a charm).

Data were taken on 2023 March 15 and March 24
