Title: M109 wide field
Post by: Roberto on Feb 05, 2020, 16:49:52
Hello All

This was taken at the end of January and earlier this week.  I had to crop this significantly (bottom/North) to remove reflections from Phecda (Gamma UMa) even though it was outside the imaging frame. Nice small galaxies in the vicinity - see annotated image for details at the astrobin link below:

Cheers Roger. There are some weird looking galaxies in the background. May actually be worth looking them up in the Hubble heritage archive.

Very nice Roberto!
Some very nice little galaxies there.  The one in the bottom corner is fabulous.
