Little Galaxies
With this simple photo, I wanted to show the "apparent size" of a few very popular galaxies. Look how M51 and M101 are about the same "apparent size" as Alkaid and Mizar, which are two stars in the constellation "The Big Dipper".
Just a couple of "Little Galaxies" out there among the stars.
Nikon D750a, Rokinon 135mm, Ioptron CEM26 mount.
56) 2-minute, ISO-1600, F2.8 subs, guided and stacked.
