M81 and M82

Who if not us? ⎯ Pixinsight team in Russian

This is our second data release on galaxies M81 and M82 (Bode and Cigar). This release includes data exclusively from our colleagues from Russia! By combining multiple datasets using a computer provided to us by Sergey Nazarov, we obtained a deep image with a total exposure time of about 80 hours!

All this became possible thanks to the efforts of the following participants:
Dmitry Krylov — C11 telescope and ZWO ASI2600MC Pro camera;
Sergey Nazarov — C11 HyperStar telescope and Player One Zeus (imx455) camera;
Vasily Chufarin — 130PDS telescope and ZWO ASI1600MM camera;
Evgeny Geniy — 200PDS telescope and ZWO ASI294MC Pro camera;
Andrey Inochkin — C8 telescope and ZWO ASI294MC Pro camera;
Timur Fakhrislamov — 150P Quattro telescope and Canon 60Da camera;
Anton Kononenko — 150PDS telescope and Canon 550Da camera;
Artyom Maksimkin — 150PDS telescope and Canon 550Da camera;

I remind you that this is an intermediate result of our team, we will continue to collect data on this area of the sky. If you want to join the project and supplement it with your data, write to Timur Fakhrislamov or Maxim Zakharov. Until we meet again in the vastness of space!
