Description

This is one of the closest galaxies to the local group and located about 2.4 million light years away. It is about 95,000 light years across, slightly smaller than the Milky Way. It's also quite similar to the Triangulum Galaxy.

I took this image over November 2023 to February 2024 at two different sites.
