M109 wide field

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.
