Description

Bode's Nebula is one of the most popular astro targets.

Messier 81 (NGC 3031) in Ursa Major is one of the most conspicuous spiral galaxies in the sky. It forms a physical pair with its neighbor, M 82 (shown), and is the dominant galaxy of the M81 group. Discovered along with M 82 by Johann Bode, and sometimes referred to as Bode's Nebula, M 81 is one of the easiest and most rewarding galaxies for amateur astronomers in the northern hemisphere.
