Description

The season's first try on M82 using the newly obtained Starizona 0.65X Focal Reducer with my 10'' RC. I am happy with the result as the main goal was to record the hydrogen filaments bursting out from the galaxy. Only 2.5 hrs exp time, but - if the weather permits - more to come later this spring.
