Description

M 109 in Ursa Major

The most distant Messier object (~80 mln.ly)!

It was hard to image due to proximity of 2.4m star Gamma UMa. I have to position galaxy slightly offcenter to minimize ghosts (still were present). In full area image the glow from Gamma UMa is visible in upper right corner.
