I was "developing" a shot of #M81 and #M82 when I started to get side-tracked and got curious about those nifty #Siril scripts. Notably, the #Galaxy Annotation script. And oh boy, is it marvelous.

Here is a picture of M81 and M82, and _a lot_ of other stuff ... mostly blotches, but still... those are some exceptionally old photons!

Question; is this really what we are seeing here?

Warning: _LARGE_ (as in 9k Pixels in height) picture.

A "framed" Picture of galaxies; the main picture has top-middle M82, the Cigar Galaxy, bottom-middle M81, Bode's Galaxy. Additionally a lot of annotations and very old galaxies - dark blotches, really - scattered around with individual panels of them at the bottom.

The Cigar Galaxy M82 above, and Bode's Galaxy M81 below, with the inevitable satellite trail. About 12 million light years away (not the satellite). #astrophotography #seestar #m81 #m82

From source link in toot: An image of the central part of galaxy M82. The galaxy’s disc extends from the top to the bottom of the image, emitting a blue-white glow. Gas erupts from the brightly shining centre, forming an hourglass-shaped plume of red and orange dust clouds to the left and right. Ridges and cavities in the gas are visible in great detail. Many distant galaxies can be seen in the background, as well as tiny pinprick stars in M82.

Last image from this morning. Focus the telescope on #M81 #BodesGalaxy and #M82 #TheCigarGalaxy. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

M81 Bode’s Galaxy and M82 The Cigar Galaxy - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. M81's close, recurring gravitational tug-of-war with its neighbor, M82, the Cigar Galaxy, is what fuels a massive starburst in M82!

M81 Bode’s Galaxy and M82 The Cigar Galaxy - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. M82 is the Cigar Galaxy, a starburst galaxy where stars form 10x faster than in the Milky Way, thanks to M81.

Due to having to reset my phone, the App to control the Odyssey Pro lost all its thumbnail images of previously captured images. Decided to reimage these items. Almost feels like pokeman - got to catch ‘em all. Here is #M82 - #CigarGalaxy. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur

M82 - Cigar Galaxy - telescope processed image. An edge-on starburst galaxy in Ursa Major, M82 is forming stars 10x faster than the Milky Way, driving fiery plumes of gas from its core.

M82 - Cigar Galaxy - unprocessed image. M82 is a starburst galaxy forming stars 10 times faster than the Milky Way. Its stellar explosions create a powerful "superwind" of hot gas.

From source in toot: On the left is an image of the galaxy M82, showing its blue disc from the side, with plumes of red gas erupting from the top and bottom. It is labelled “Hubble/ACS/WFC”. A small box in the galaxy’s centre is pulled out to a second image on the right, labelled “Hubble/ACS/HRC”. This close-in view of the centre shows thick clumps of gas and dust obscuring the brilliant bluish light from newly forming star clusters

Not too far from Bode’s Galaxy is #M82 - #CigarGalaxy. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur

M82 - Cigar Galaxy - telescope processed image. M82, the Cigar Galaxy, is a starburst galaxy in Ursa Major. It's forming stars 10x faster than the Milky Way due to a close encounter with M81.

M82 - Cigar Galaxy - unprocessed image. M82, the Cigar Galaxy, has a "superwind" of hot gas blasting from its core, powered by the birth of thousands of stars.
