It's been cloudy and rainy, so I haven't picked up much new data. I wanted to revisit this popular pair for a while. I used the "mosaic" registration method to combine the best data I have for M81: Bode's Galaxy, a grand spiral design galaxy that is exerting a massive gravitational influence on nearby M82: the Cigar Galaxy, an irregular starburst galaxy, to produce this widefield view of these beautiful targets.
