M82 from last night.

[Kaptain Klevtsov]

Exactly the same setup as M81, in fact this was accidental. When the clouds arrived the guiding went haywire so I was watching the zigzagged frames whilst eating dinner. By the time dinner was over the guide camera had found a star to guide on and the 'scope settled. This is the result, M82, not very well framed and only 5 good subs. After I went down to the shed, the clouds had got too bad so I couldn't get any more. Still, it's not bad for accidental.

And people say this imaging lark is difficult..quote "it was cloudy outside so i was inside eating my dinner" or something like that ....

Right, my scope is outside with its dust cap and all weather cover on....intermittent cloud and the dinner is in the oven.....watch this space
