Description

M 81 and Surrounding Galaxies: I went to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey databases and located as many galaxies as possible in the region of M 81. From those data, I put a block box around all the galaxies I could see on the original M 81 image (http://www.astrobin.com/169183/C/). There are 23 galaxies visible on the attached image, including M 81. There are obviously many more in this FOV. I just could not find visual evidence of them. If you find more, let me know.
