Description

I'm surprised this galaxy does not have a common name given it's size and brightness. Lots of smaller galaxies nearby. I captured part of NGC 4217 in the raw data, which is an interesting object on it's own, but decided to crop it out.

Stacking, gradient removal and color calibration in Siril, light denoise with Topaz, minor adjustments in Photoshop.
