Another image from those 6 consecutive clear nights in March.



This is a bit more than 5 hours of data (650 x 30sec) taken over two nights - 25/26 March.
Modified Sony A7S on Celestron C11 with Starizona LF corrector.

The jets in this image look more subtle than many other images you'll find because I didn't take separate data through an H-alpha filter and plonk it on top. 

Here's the full size version:  http://www.markshelley.co.uk/Astronomy/2020/M82_20200325.jpg

That's come out really well Mark including the jets, which I didn't think would show up unless you had an Ha filter.

It is healthier to be mutton dressed as lamb, than mutton dressed as mutton!

Swapped telescopes for armchair.

Another excellent closeup !  The jets have come out really well and so many background galaxies...

I'm not sure I'd like to be living on a planet anywhere in that galaxy !

Ditto, very nice. I lik the subtle approach to the jets, nicer colours.
