Description

22x300" ASI1600MC-C with VC200L. One of my first "meridian flip" images (data collected from both sides of the Meridian in the same night).

Muscida is cataloged as a Mag 3.35 star, which obviously is still causing a reflection in my setup (of the secondary spider vanes).

There is a faint galaxy exposed on the right, which is a nice face-on spiral galaxy but is extremely faint. At this time I do not believe this galaxy is commonly labeled; it appears at J2000 RA 08h 31m 27s DEC 60d 59' 43" My daughter calls this the "Cinnamon Roll Galaxy" which might be referenced as SDSS 587738067808485519
