Description

Ursa Major is an area of sky that is filled with some interesting objects. After scanning my Deep Sky Atlas, I stumbled across this gang, a combination of  lenticular, elliptical and spiral galaxies plus many more to form the NGC 3642 Group.

This project would really benefit from dark skys as there are some interesting structures in the arms and halos of the galaxies that would even be discernible with my ED80, a project for another time but also highlights some interesting targets to look forward to with a bigger telescope. Without a filter, LP really affected this image and was a struggle to seperate galaxy arms from LP. In any case I particularly like this image.
