Description

I wasn't familiar with this target in Pegasus, but I saw a beautiful image of it that Mike Feigenbaum posted recently.
This is 9h and 20m of LRGB+Ha data from a few clear nights in the last week.
I note 1) that the dust between us and the galaxy is quite Salamander-like, and 2) the galaxy shows evidence of some kind of galaxy-galaxy interaction with spiral arm irregularities, a lot of young blue stars, and central H-alpha hot spots.
