Astronomy Astrophotography: Capturing Bodes & The Cigar Galaxy, PC Upgrade & I Tuned Up My Mount

In this video I capture M81 Bodes Galaxy & M82 The Cigar Galaxy. I Also share my PC upgrade & film my mount in pieces & being put back together after a well needed tune up.

To date, this was the most time I have spent imaging any object & these Galaxies gave me quite the challenge as I tried to capture as much of the (IFN) Intergrated Flux Nebula as I could. In total, I dedicated 9 nights to this project & lost count how long it took to process. The video also took a few months to put together due to various reasons.

I finally upgraded my PC replacing most of the components (links to everything I used are below).

I also gave my EQ6 R PRO Telescope Mount a tune up which involved changing all the bearings, clean up & re-grease. I kick off the video with it all in pieces. (Links to what I used along with the video I followed from the ASTROBLOKE Channel are below)
