An irregular galaxy positioned near the boundary on Ursa Major is NGC2366. The galaxy is lying about 3.6 degrees north of NGC2403, which is a striking spiral at the tip of the nose of Big Bear. NGC2366 has an apparent size of 8 arc minutes but very dimmed, it might be needed clear and dark sky to detect in your eyes through scopes. This picture shows you any striking structures but there is a bright stellar area in southern region.
