Messier 82 (M82)

Messier 82, also known as the Cigar Galaxy, is located in the famous Ursa Major constellation - well known as the Big Dipper.

 

I captured this photo in January 2022 from my garden telescope in England, UK.

 

This target is relatively small and even with a field of view of 0.68 degrees, it still requires some heavy cropping. Due to my setup having a 9mp camera sensor, I can’t crop all that much - so I’ve really pushed this file to the max.
