Description

Hard to see in my light polluted sky, but you can see the extra stars in the background best in the inverted cropped image.  This was another exercise in using Generalized Hyperbolic Stretch on a lot of images. 

Best discussion on CN here, with the best image I could find:

"One of our nearest neighbors at approximately 260kly away and not often photographed. The Draco Dwarf, a dwarf spheroidal galaxy, is believed to contain a large amount of dark matter and highly studied because of it. The galaxy wasn't identified as such until the 1950's, more than likely because it's stars blend in with those of the Milky Way."
