Description

I wanted to see if I could tease out more of the star-burst features of M82 compared with the image I posted almost a year ago. In that objective I think I have somewhat succeeded but sadly the colours in M81 seem to me not quite as good, at least for now.

This image is compiled from subs captured during 7 imaging sessions between Dec 2018 and March 2019

Description: Recently managed to capture a few extra good quality subs for this target to add to my earlier data. As a result of reprocessing the old and new data I feel I have manged to bring out a little more surface detail on M81 and of the star-burst filiments on M82. Also slightly changed the angle of view of the targets which I also think is an improvement
