Description

Taken with Marcel Vonk over four nights. Luminance 6 hours, RGB 80 minutes per colour. TEC140, Atik 460, Mesu 200.

The partial loop was created by matter drawn from a dwarf galaxy drawn into a merger with the edge on spiral. It proved to be very faint and difficult to extract so we may well go back for more when Draco is higher in the sky.
