Description

M82 is a very interesting target - the main corpus of the galaxy is unusual and what is most interesting, is the vertical emission of Ions out of the middle of the center, which are not very easy to make visible with a not too large telescope. I tried my best and that is, what I can get with my equipement for the time beeing and with the current weather situation, which is not too exciting.

The subs were taken during two nights - 19Jan2022 and 5Feb2022
