First attempt at M82

[steelfixer]

Well tonight I had my first attempt at M82 with my trusty old Samsung SBC 2000 video camera.

Ok I know its not on par with the dslr pics on here but until I can afford one I will keep plugging away with what I have got.

Thanks

Graham.

I think that's M81, a very difficult target for any camera yet alone a webcam!

Hi Lewis

You may well be right on that one.

I know its one or the other.

It is the one that is face on rather than side on if you get what I mean.

Yeah the edge-on one (the "cigar" galaxy) is M82.

Hi Mick.

Glad to here it.

The new company is now up and running.

I have got my piers on Ebay along with the adapter plates.

I have just finished designing a free standing folding pier which I will start manufacturing tomorrow.

That just leaves the extensions.

I will put them into production as well as they use the same endcap fittings as the free standing piers.

All good fun.

Take care.
