Hello all M82 or Cigar is a starburst galaxy approximately 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. Taken using Ha and LRGB. Tonbridge bortle5. Total of 16hrs across several dates in April and May. Bit of a challenge to process as my first go at HaLRGB.(http://gallery.orpington-astronomy.org.uk/albums/userpics/10110/normal_M82star.png)
You've certainly cuaght those Ha Jets well John, a very pleasing image.
