Description

Detail of Leo I dwarf galaxy, excerpt from a larger field picture.

With PixInsight I have removed, by use of wavelets techniques, a light spike and a reflection of the optics generated by the nearby star Regulus, to obtain a "clean" image of this galaxy.

Leo I is a dwarf galaxy part of our Local Group. Its estimated distance is 840kly.

Because of its proximity to Regulus and of its faintness, it was discovered only in 1950.
