Description

When I finished imaging M17 last night it was still early so I looked around the sky and noticed

that Perseus was in full view. I've been wanting to try and image NGC 1499 for a while and

decided this would be a good opportunity. However I was pretty sure that I would not be

able to get an image because of how dim this object is. To my surprise I did get an image

although it is pitiful when compared to images I've seen on this site using exposures of

5 to 10 minutes. I'm pleased that I got an image at all and for some reason the image

appeals to me. I just like the look of the image. With all of that said please enjoy my first

image of NGC 1499.
