Scientific paper

One of the most magnificent pairings of contrasting galaxies visible in small telescopes must surely be M81 and M82 in Ursa Major - the irregular galaxy M82 visible as a slightly curved bright thin streak and the grand spiral M81 as a large diffuse oval patch with a bright condensed nucleus. Circumpolar from latitudes above 30° north, they are at their best in late winter or early spring when almost overhead.
