Description

A local group galaxy at about 2.2 milion light years distant is about as far away as the Andromeda galaxy, but quite a bit smaller. Dusty and full of red HII regions.

Its an interesting object that doesn't get as much attention as I think it should.

Each 10 minute image was a SharpCap live-stack of 300 two second images.
