M82 Cigar Galaxy

[MartinB]

A rare image from me.  Last April I started to collect M81 82 data with a view to going quite deep and getting some good Ha data for the starbrst.  I had a couple of good nigts and gathered about 8 hours of Ha in 3min subs along with a smattering of LRGB.  I recently went back to it and collected a lot of data.  Unfortunately it was all pretty useless thanks to some thin high cloud.  So here is the data from last April.

Scope: MN190

Camera: ASI 294MM

Chroma filters

As ever, Martin, good taste, delicacy of touch, and a little restraint.
