Description

Galaxy Cluster: As astronomy season comes to an end for Florida, I decided to try and image a cluster of galaxies in constellation Ursa Major. This was a 1-hour exposure. The large galaxy in the center is M81 (Bode's Galaxy) about 12 million light-years. To the left is M81 (Cigar Galaxy ). You can also see two small galaxies - top right is NGC 2976 (dwarf galaxy) and at the bottom is NGC 307 (a lenticular galaxy).
