Description

Messier 82 (also known as NGC 3034, Cigar Galaxy or M82) is a starburst galaxy approximately 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. 

The photo was made by good seeing conditions, just a few wind gust bothered the imaging. That's why I decided to take the pictures with just 60 sec exposure time.
