Title: M 82 revisited
Post by: elpajare on June 13, 2016, 05:52:45 pm

Messier 82 (also known as NGC 3034, Cigar Galaxy or M82) is a starburst galaxy about 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major and a member of the M81 Group. It is about five times more luminous than the whole Milky Way and has a center one hundred times more luminous than our galaxy's center. (Wikipedia)

Nice capture, and your stars are looking a bit tighter and rounder than before, good stuff!

Yes, to get a more accurate approach I reduce exposure/binning in the finder mode. The weaker the stars seems to do better focusing.
