Another M82 馃榾

More that 20 hours of integration time. Specially dificult to display the fine details but it was easy to use only one telescope to capture all data.

Messier 82 is a starburst galaxy approximately 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. A member of the M81 Group, it is about five times more luminous than the Milky Way and has a center one hundred times more luminous.
