In this deep field view, both bright galaxies and faint nebulae are visible. The largest visible galaxy is M81 and is in the center of the field of view. M81 is gravitationally interacting with M82 below it. M82 is an interesting galaxy due to its unusual halo of red gas. These galaxies are in the Virgo supercluster.
