Description

An impressive irregular galaxy in Canes Venatici. About 150 2.5 second frames stacked with SharpCap. Had pretty good seeing this night, so I imaged without a focal reducer, giving around 0.8 arc seconds per pixel. So many star forming regions and dust clouds superimposed on this galaxy. This was shot without any filter from my fairly light polluted backyard while it was nearly overhead. Definitely will revisit this one under darker skies and improved imaging techniques.
