The galaxy M82 has in its central region ongoing a giant burst of star formation. Van van den Bergh (1971) first separated the bright semistellar objects in central region of M82, which in fact are young star clusters. Using subsecond seeing, Artamonov et al. (1990) managed to distinguish about 70 semistellar objects in M 82 in colour ‘V’.
