Hey Hivers,

Another @actifit beta app test today.
I have tried my luck again on Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS), but I wasn't successful. After my USB to serial converter had some problems, which caused my computer to freeze on every image download, the comet disappeared behind the roof.
Later this night I managed to get one shot of the Messier 81 and Messier 82 Galaxy group.
In the center of the image is Messier 81, the Bodes Galaxy. At its right side is Messier 82, the Cigar Galaxy. The two other Galaxies NGC3077 (above Messier 81) and NGC2976 in the left bottom corner are also in this field of view.
