Description

Also known as the NGC 5182 group, Draco is home to this small group of galaxies. This target represents my last galaxy target of the (short) season. There is an interesting writeup on this trio in Universe Today titled "Dragon Slayer". Rather than me poorly summarizing the article, I recommend you follow this link for more info.
