A stretch of cold, rainy weather has me redoing old images.
It makes a good case for saving your calibrated masters. As your processing skills improve, so do your versions of that object.
Attached is a redone version of M 82 from last year.
Since I'm too ashamed to show the 'before' image, you'll have to take my word that this one's much better.

Nice work Dan. It's hard to imagine what the skies would look like living near the center of that galaxy.

That looks great. Amazing how that object has the red pluming out in the centre both ways.

Beautiful work Dan! I like all the dark lanes within the cigar. Nicely captured!
Cheers,
