Description

Last night I was able to spend some time imaging the region of interacting galaxies in Ursa Major, predominantly defined by Bode’s and Cigar Galaxies. As you can see, the wide field of view from my current telescope limits the amount of detail I can capture, on these objects, but some day I do plan to add a longer focal length telescope to my arsenal so I can better capture these objects in more detail.
