Presenting the Starburst Galaxy Messier 82
Thank you to Tony Hallas for capturing this amazing image of Messier 82! Also known as M82, this starburst galaxy is located in the constellation Ursa Major, and is about 12 million light years away.
This photo was taken with Chroma Technology’s LRGB and H-alpha astronomy filters.
Chroma Technology manufactures the highest quality astronomy filters with durable, sputtered hard coatings using single substrates of the best glass, eliminating the need for laminations. All primary filter coatings are applied on the front surface and anti-reflection coatings on the rear surface to prevent ghosting and to maximize transmission.
