Galaxies M81 and M82 lie amid large clouds of galactic cirrus — dust that lies in our own Milky Way Galaxy and is lit by the galaxy’s overall, ambient glow. Around 2° to the west lies the Vulcan Nebula (WPS 46). The imager used a 2.8-inch f/5 scope and one-shot color camera, to obtain 72.6 hours of data, some of which was taken with an Hα/OIII dual-band filter.
