M82 starburst galaxy - via SLOOH 20140116
A still picture taken from the SLOOH citizen astronomer project live webcam for 16th January 2014. This project uses the observatory high on Mount Teide on the island of Tenerife, Spain.
This is a screen snapshot taken of the webcam broadcast. A couple of days after taking this picture a Type 1a or white dwarf supernova was observed in this galaxy.

Also just playing around with the idea of what does it mean to claim ownership of an image. My only contribution was to locate a live webcam, press on my keyboard and then trim the screenshot in GraphicConverter. Does that make it 'my' image? Would it have been mine if I had attached my camera to someone else's telescope or used my camera to photograph my computer screen?
