Last night I went out to image the nova V1405 Cas in Cassiopeia. While waiting for Cassiopeia to get high enough to start imaging the M52-NGC 7635 region, I went ahead and captured 2 hours of Ha data on this target, just to kill time.
I wasn't expecting much considering I was in a Bortle 5 or 6 area and we had a 97% full moon but I was pleasantly surprised with this.

M81-82
24x 5min exposures - 7nm Baader Ha
ZWO1600mm -10°, offset 10, gain 139
Explore Scientific ED127mm APO with 0.7x reducer
CGX mount, captured with NINA, processed with Astro Pixel Processor.
