Description

I was actually a little disappointed with this image. Messier 82 looks pretty good just looking through the eyepiece, so I figured imaging it would more detail. It looks pretty plain except for some dust clouds mottling its edge-on disk. I wonder what I must do to image the fainter areas that are seen in other images that appear to be spraying out of its poles? This galaxy is also catalogued as Arp 337.
