Description

I really am enjoying exploring the constellation of Draco and its treasure trove of galaxies. Especially this deep into summer, it is like a bonus round from spring.

NGC 6503 is a field dwarf spiral galaxy located at the edge of a region of space called the Local Void. The dwarf galaxy spans 30,000 light-years and lies approximately 17 million light-years away in the constellation of Draco.

Now that I am getting comfortable with my ASI294MC it is time to go deep with projects. Hopefully this will be on the low end of totally integration.
