Description

As a first 'real' DSO using my own scope, not counting Orion that is, I'm ok with M81 but really didn't get what I hoped for out of M82.... M82 looks better in even a single sub with just some extra exposure in Lightroom (though no comparison for 81), so seems like there was more to work with than I was able to bring out. I'll blame the bloated stars on lack of auto-guiding, but by Monday (I hope!...) that excuse disappears.....
