Description

Working a lot on getting the best resolution from the scope tediously moving backfocus 1mm at a time. 

M82, located in Ursa Major is remarkable for its bright blue disk, webs of shredded clouds, and fiery-looking plumes of glowing hydrogen blasting out of its central regions.  Hubble image and description source
