NGC 2841 in Ursa Major
Sketch and Details by Marek Płonka
Sketch information:
My sketch shows NGC 2841 in Ursa Major.
NGC 2841 is an inclined unbarred spiral galaxy. It is approximately 46
million light years distant.
Even using averted vision I wasn’t able to see more clear view. But I am
lucky guy, because a few minutes after I had finished the draw, the clouds
came.
I am sure, I will be visiting this galaxy again. I hope, it is possible
to see the bright core in my 8-inch scope in better air condition.

Marek,
Truly faint and fuzzy is what you have rendered here.
It sort of wants to make me go out there and give it a look myself. Excellent sketch!
Marek,
As always topping and realistic sketch!
Greetings!

Marek,
Excellent capture, that is about the way I see it in my 10″ inch on a good night.
Frank 🙂
