Description

Got my new camera plus a light pollution filter, and immediately went for M81/82 again. The cigar galaxy in particular has quickly become one of the more fascinating dso's to me, and I am so happy to have been able to get some of the color in it this time! Sadly, I had not realized my field flattener was not adjusted properly, so in this uncropped image, there is definitely some stretching at the edges... Still, I am thrilled with the result : D
Critique/advice is appreciated : )
