M82-Cigar Galaxy

Posted on June 11, 2024June 11, 2024 By Cosmic Ken
Deep Space Objects, Galaxies

From the day I first got my 8″ StarSense Explorer telescope, I have been intrigued by both M81 and M82 galaxies. I still remember the first time I saw them through my eye piece. Then I looked at a picture and thought, well that’s not what I saw. Now, that I do EAA and Astrophotography,

This picture was taken June 8th, 2024. I took 30 3 minute long subs @ 100 gain using my ZWO ASI2600MC. I stacked them and processed them in Pixinsight using my new workflow that has changed my final images.
