Description

An often overlooked target in the Ursa Major collection of galaxies. While not as visually pleasing as M101 or M51, it still contains a nice amount of detail in its bright and colorful core.

Pushing the 60mm refractor to its resolution limits with this one, but nice to collect light on this under-appreciated target.
