More M81

Image of M81 from an anonymous source

The nearby bright spiral galaxy M 81, shown in a V-band CCD image taken

with the 1.1-meter Hall telescope at Lowell Observatory.

A logarithmic intensity mapping has been used to preserve

detail over the wide dynamic range of this image, which covers a field

9..4 arcminutes square thanks to a focal reducer.
