6-20-2021 TSS Visual Report of the Day.

by helicon

"Ursa Major Galaxies"

Probably many folks can spot the Big Dipper, even if they are not astronomically inclined. However, they don't know about the number of galaxies within and around the Dipper asterism, nor do they know that the Dipper's home constellation, Ursa Major or the Great Bear contains a vast array of these objects.

Member Bigzmey (Andrey) shows in his report what an experienced observer can do with a Celestron 9.25" Edge and a 150mm Achro, observing galaxy after galaxy from the Anza Desert of Southern California (Bortle 3.5). Congratulations Andrey for winning the TSS Visual Award of the Day!
