Description

This galaxy amazes me, I don't think there is any other out there like it. So much star birth activity splashing out of the centre like that! It is intensely interacting with M81. Interesting fact, of all the galaxies out there, it is the brightest in the Infrared. I would love to know why...

This was taken over several nights of exceptional seeing with sky quality metre of 21.8 this month before the Moon showed up.

About 12 hours of RGB and 12 hours of Ha
