Description

One of my favorite targets to image are faint galaxies that surround bright or otherwise interesting non-galaxy objects.

This image of Regulus has been reduced to 50% of its original size. The 4 breakouts on the right however (you may have to scroll), have been left at 1x magnification and presented as negatives to better show the dim fuzzies. Nice to know that with a 2.8” telescope you can pick up 17th magnitude galaxies.
