Visibility IV / V

Jesse Kyytinen, Ursa (Länsi-Suomi)

Since the lamp directly in front of the yard had been on for a couple of days, in addition to the picture, I decided to draw our neighboring galaxy, without the light, of course. I couldn't draw all the dim stars from the edges of the picture.

The latter of the photographs is uncut.

  The apparent shape of spiral galaxied depends on out observation direction. From above they are quite round. From the side they lens-shaped with a bulge in the middle.
  
  Generally a rather large instrument, good weather conditions and observational expereince are needed to see spiral arms. Usually spiral galaxies look like a fuzzy spots.
