Hi,
This is my last capture :
A large field centered on M81 (NGC 3031) and M82 (NGC 3034) located respectively about 12.0 and 12.7 light years from our Milky Way.
The relatively long exposure time (per shot and in total for F2) combined with the magnificent sky (SQM >21) makes it possible to highlight the many IFN (Integrated Flux Nebula, clouds in the foreground internal to our galaxy) but also to identify a multitude of small galaxies.
It is probably my photo that offers the greatest detectivity (above 21.5 magnitude).
