Constellation Ursa Major: northern part
Date: unknown, 1995
Lens: f=50 mm f/1,7
Exposure time: 40 seconds
Film: Agfachrome 1000 RS
The bright star in the upper left corner is Polaris. The speck in the yellow square is M81.
M81 appears to be reddish, because only the bright core with dominating reddish stars was recorded.
M82 is not visible. I used such pictures to learn asterisms that lead me to interesting objects. It
is a sort of star hopping.
