Description

One of may favorite galaxies - the "Cigar Galaxy", Messier 82 in Ursa Major. The winter has been very cloudy, windy and rainy with only a few clear eveninbgs here in south-western Norway.  I did, however, finally manage to finalize this image of M82 and although I had planned for much more integration time, I am pleased with the result. My new AG-Optical iDK continues to deliver. So far I am very please with the set-up.

Enjoy.... comments are always welcome...
