M81 - Bode's Galaxy
2006-03-13 
This is our first picture of a galaxy. When taking this picture
we were in a hurry finishing it because Jakob had to study for an
exam he had the day after. Even though the exposure time was
extremely short we managed to get the spiral arms of the
galaxy on the picture. If we get this amount of detail with
this short exposure we can only think of how nice it will look in the future.
