Bernard,

Great image.  Your hard work paid off.  There's terrific detail and color in 
M82.   Your image is a lot better than one I took of the same area with my 
12.5 inch f/3.6 astrograph, and a  Canon 20Da.     The exposure in my image 
was 5x5 minutes.  Later,  it was difficult getting acceptable processing for 
both M81 and M82.   When one was pretty good, the other wasn't.   The image 
is posted at:
