Quick Image of M82 was created by DaveGrennan
Been a while since I managed to take any 'pretty pictures' Heres one from a few nights back. I only managed 40 minutes of Luminance before the clouds got me. It could certainly do with a bit more data but I was really only letting the kit flex its muscles a bit so I'm happy enough to get a semi presentable image out of it.

Details under the image;

I will revist this in the spring when hopefully I can put a bit more time into it.

Dave that is very good great detail. I love looking at M82 up close like this. I'm looking forward to seeing this image even more when you add more subs to it. Well done

That's alright Dave.
Stars are just slightly oblong, but galaxy itself looks very good. Nice colour processing.

Actually the eggy stars are from a combination of coma with the reducer and me making a dogs dinner of removing blooming from the NABG images. The mount performed A1.
