M81 and M82 Galaxies (& More)
The M81 and M82 Galaxies in Ursa Major at 400mm.
This galaxy-rich region of the constellation Ursa Major repeatedly calls my name each spring, and this year was no different.
In this annotated image, you'll notice Bode's Galaxy (a spiral galaxy) and the Cigar Galaxy (an Irregular, starburst galaxy) along with some other smaller galaxies in the area.
This photo uses 193 x 2-minute exposures using the Celestron RASA 8 F/2 Astrograph, with a One-Shot-Color camera.
