Bode's galaxy & Cigar galaxy



There was I waiting for Scorpious to rise from the eastern horizon of Boso-boso, Antipolo. I had planned to image the Blue Horsehead nebula in the horns of the Scorpion and I was expecting it to rise by around 1 a.m. So to keep myself busy and also to test my newly made camera power supply adapter, I started shooting the famous M81/M82 galaxy pair in Ursa Major. I let GuideMaster took the shots and made 32 subs at 3 minutes each. Not satisfied with the result as I was expecting to capture the reddish starburst filaments of M82. Anyway, there's still another time to capture it.
