Northern Winter Galaxies Montage of 7
On 01/01/2026 01:01 am by Andy Dungan | Website | Near Cotopaxi, Colorado USA
This montage was built in August of 2025. All the photos themselves were completed from Jan-Mar of 25 and were developed from Jan through Aug of 25. If you look carefully at the photo you will see the Big Dipper. It is upside down and the dipper wraps around the pic of the surfboard galaxy. Whether you use a telescope/ binoculars for viewing or photography, this is the time of year to see/photograph the winter galaxies.

All the individual pics were processed using PixInsight.
