astroenthusiast 279 Posted April 23, 2021 There is no comparison to the amount spectacular details the Hubble space telescope presents to us humans back here on Earth. I appreciate the beauty of Messier 82, the Cigar Galaxy. There is quite a bit of star formation going on in M82, according to NASA. I dream of one day the opportunity to visit the Cigar galaxy, but unless someone has a warp drive-bubble starship (Alcubierre drive) parked in Earth orbit, guess we will have to just enjoy images from NASA, and us amateur astrophotographer’s. The image was captured using 81 subframes at 60 second exposures each. The image was taken using my main rig, the Explore Scientific ED 165mm APO Triplet Refractor and ASI2600 CMOS OSC. I really appreciate all my fellow Stargazers and all the likes!! Clear skies! The information obtained from: NASA/Gov/10/19/2017, https://lnkd.in/dJh99_x Information accessed on: 04/22/2021.
