M81-M82

Well, this is my first experience working with a mono camera and filters. The weather wasn't great, of course—freezing temperatures, poor atmospheric transparency, and light pollution.

There were sooo many different versions, but I chose this one as the best in my opinion. I struggled a lot with the stars; they looked really scary—bloated and fuzzy. I wanted a hydrogen explosion in the Cigar, but apparently not this time :))

I processed it on my main monitor, which shows black as true black, not glowing black or semi-black. I decided to check it on another 4K monitor with an IPS panel, and oh horror—in the mid-tones, you can see a green tint, and the image looks completely different.

So, keep in mind what you're viewing it on :)
