Description

The bright star Mirach (mag 2.5) and in the bottom right corner is the galaxy NGC 404, also known as "Mirach's Ghost", which is mag 11.2.

This was just a series of test images trying out my camera on a bright star. I did not even know I had imaged the galaxy until I stacked them and then looked up the objects in the catalogue so it was interesting to find something I was not expecting.
