Description

I was always intrigued by this part of sky. In addition to two beautiful large galaxies (m81 and 82),  it has many other faint and small (as visible to us) galaxies. At first I wasn't sure if I would be able to capture them with my equipment. I also had very short time left before I had to pack up and head home. It was last month during my visit to Death Valley, CA.
I'm pleased with the result after seeing many smaller and faint objects.
