M82 in its environment

M82 (or Cigar Galaxy) is a starburst galaxy like the famous Antennae Galaxies. That means they are a lot of star formation in its heart.
This galaxy is located in the constellation Ursa Major.
What impresses me in this field of view, is we can see above the two brightest red stars on the left a “cluster” of galaxies in the sky background. These faint galaxies in the background are often alone or in small groups, here we can see those in a cluster in the depth on our universe.
