Description

This photo is an image of M81 and M82 in Ursa Major. Unfortunately, that direction is directly into the skyglow of Baltimore City from my backyard and the sky glow extends to at least 50% of altitude towards Polaris. To add to that there was still a significant amount of snow around from the Spring storm and a nearly first quarter. It was my first time imaging with a gigantic bounce card throwing all the moonlight back into the sky.
