Description

This is a collaboration between Wim van Berlo and me - two Swedes enjoying near midnight sun and no chance of doing our own astrophotography. So when processing free data from the Liverpool Telescope archive, we came up with two slightly different versions that each had some good qualities. This is a mix of the best of the two versions. As far as we can tell, this is the best image of this rarely image galaxy so far.

Filters and exposures used (from 2014 091 16 - 2016 01 28).

sdss-r 16 x 90 s (red channel)

Bessell V 9 x 90 s (green channel)

Bessell B + sdss-g 20 x 90 s (blue channel)
