Description

M82 (Cigar Galaxy) from the Rolnick Observatory's 12.5" reflector.

The Rolnick's mount isn't precision so we are limited to short exposures and we didn't have the proper focusing tools so we were manually focusing producing an image not as sharp as we had hoped.

It was also a 99% full (Super) moon.

We are still pleased to have gotten something though!
