Description

Edwin Coddington discovered his Nebula in 1898. Of course later it was found to be a galaxy outside our own. A dwarf spiral which is diffuse and contains more nothing than substance. It's part of the M81 group and has had some interaction in the past which has rekindled a little star formation clouds where the brighter blue bits are. If I had some Ha data it's visible in the blue clumps.

Subs were gathered over multiple nights in November and December when the weather allowed. The last were on the 10th of Dec, so this is the last image from the 200p. The TS is on the pier just needs some more room for back focus.
