M81 is a spiral galaxy. I have seen it through several telescopes and it is a beauty! There was a Type II supernova in 1993 and I was able to find it in my 6" 'scope.

What do you know about the m81 galaxy?

M81 is a spiral galaxy in the Ursa Major constellation, roughly 12 million light years away from Earth. It is very dense with about half the mass and only one-third the diameter of our own galaxy. Like most galaxies, it has a supermassive black hole (of about 70 million solar masses) at the center. It is gravitationally interacting with nearby galaxies M82 and NGC 3077, which has deformed it somewhat. It is very bright, with an apparent magnitude of 7, but still can only be seen through a telescope.
