M81-M82 galaxy group in Ursa Major

Hi folks,
My first image here:

Luminance from new site in Eastern Washington: Rimrock Meadows. RGB from Howard Miller Steel head Park in Rockport, WA
Unfortunately I had to toss a lot of subs out because they just weren't sharp enough. Eventually I averaged around 2.5 FWHM for the stack.
I tried to preserve as much detail and color in the galaxies whilst also revealing a bit of the IFN. I could have easily stretched it a lot more to show the IFN but that would have created a somewhat cartoonish look.

5 and 10 min subs Luminance:
4 hours total
RGB: 40 mins each channel (2 hours total: 5 min subs)

Equipment: TEC, AP, Moravian

Hope you like it!
