This is a framing of the bright Messier spiral galaxy M101,with a number of its nearby galaxies in Ursa Major. The odd galaxy below M101 ins NGC 5474. NGC 5473,5485 and 5486 are above M101. an edge-on at top centre is NGC 5422,while at the top edge is NGC 5443. The elongated galaxy above the blue star 86 UMa at right is 13th magnitude UGC 8337.

This is the "Leo Trio" or Leo Triplet of spiral galaxies,that includes two Messier galaxies: M65 (lower right),M66 (lower left),along with the edge-on spiral NGC 3628 (top). The galaxy NGC 3593 is at right. A number of other faint 15th-magnitude IC and PGC galaxies are also in the frame as tiny fuzzy spots hard to distinguish from stars at this scale. The Class K3 orange giant star 73 or n Leonis is at right.

This is a framing of the large naked-eye Mel111 Coma Berenices star cluster to include some of the telescopic galaxies in the area,notably the edge-on Needle Galaxy,NGC 4565,at lower left and the spiral galaxy NGC 4559 at upper left. NGC 4494 is to the right of the Needle galaxy. Many other NGC and PGC galaxies down to 15th magnitude dot the field.

$Messier 81 (the spiral galaxy below) and M82 (the irregular galaxy on top) in Ursa Major. M81 is Bode’s Galaxy, while M82 is the Cigar Galaxy. The galaxy at bottom left is NGC 3077 This is a stack of 10 x 10-minute exposures with the Canon EOS Ra camera at ISO 800 through the Astro-Physics 130mm apo refractor at f/6 with the 6x7 field flattener lens. Taken April 24/25, 2020. North is up in this view.$

The Coma Berenices star cluster, aka Mel 111, with star glows added from haze in the sky to accentuate the star colours. The edge-on galaxy NGC 4565 (the Needle Galaxy) is at lower left; the spiral galaxy NGC 4559 is at upper left. Several other smaller NGC galaxies are in the field, which is similar to the field of view of binoculars.

A framing of the core of the great Coma-Virgo Galaxy Cluster,with the bright pair of elliptical Messier-catalogue galaxies M84 (right) and M86 (on the left) at upper right anchoring the arc of galaxies called Markarian's Chain. At centre is the giant elliptical M87,famous for its monster black hole. M89,a smaller elliptical,is to the left,and M90,a spiral galaxy,is above it. M58 is at lower left,and the pair of interacting galaxies called the Siamese Twins,NGC 4568,are at bottom left. Dozens of other NGC,IC and PGC galaxies down to 15th magnitude dot the field.

The well-known Andromeda Galaxy, Messier 31, with its companion galaxies. M32, below it and seemingly embedded in M31's outer arms, and M110 above M31. Many yellow giant stars litter the field, as foreground stars in our Milky Way Galaxy. North is up in this framing.
