Bode’s Galaxy - Messier-81

Bode’s Galaxy is a beautiful subject for amateur astrophotographers because it is bright and face-on.

Radio messages to the nearby planets take several minutes, but a radio messages to Bode’s Galaxy takes 12 million years. Indeed, these distances are truly difficult to comprehend, yet, it is considered nearby on an intergalactic scale.

As it appears almost face-on, we get a good look at the composition of a typical spiral galaxy. I expect to see spiral arms that suggest gravitational forces on a spinning disk. However, look closely: there are cross-hatching patterns in the clouds that don’t fit this formula. Professional astronomers suggest that there might be two Black Holes at the centre. I speculate that it may explain the pattern of “tartan” clouds that I captured here (and confirmed in photos by others).

This image is a composite of the best 92 photos from 120 (3 minutes each) that I captured from my garden in Strasbourg France on two evenings in March 2025 (120 x 3 minutes = 6 hours of imaging).

M 81, Bode’s Galaxy revisited. Three nights ago I was able to capture 5.25 hours worth of photon data. Last night I hoped to add another 4 hours. Alas, I grabbed only an hour before high clouds showed up. So, instead of the hopes for 9 and a quarter hours, I processed 6 and a quarter. Oh well: every little bit helps methinks. #astrophotography #astronomy #galaxy #bodesgalaxy #asi294mcpro #clayhausphotography #celestronavx #celestrontelescope #celestronuniverse https://www.instagram.com/p/CblGkafvNxZ/?utm_medium=tumblr

A gorgeous picture of the Bode's Galaxy ( Messier 81). This galaxy is located about 11.8 million light-years away from us in the direction of the Ursa Major (Great Bear) constellation. The picture shows the galaxy's bright yellow nucleus, blue spiral arms, and sweeping, brownish cosmic dust lanes. #bodesgalaxy #universe #aadpakvis (bij Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CU0zc82I_5J/?utm_medium=tumblr

I kept my telescope pointed at Bode's Galaxy for 18 hours to create this picture. It's a combination of exposures across two years. Did you know you can partake on this hobby too with as much as a DSLR camera and a tripod? No working for NASA required. check out /astrophotography.... Got an opinion about this?
