Tom,
That's really phenomenal. I actually feel like there's a story in that picture--the fine detail and composition make it seem, dare I say it, animated.
Keep 'em coming!

Wow. Incredibly sharp image. M82 is really detailed even in the small JPG you've posted here. Congrats on a great image.

Beautiful wide-field, but still showing a wealth of sharp detail in the core of M82 and as well in the HII regions of M81. Great job.

Great shot, it looks like you picked up a little of 14th magnitude pgc 28757 just below M81.
