Description

Here's something else I took a while back and forgot about.

NGC 973 is located approximately 200 million light years away in Triangulum. NGC 973 and most of the other galaxies in the image are all part of the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster which is a long, dense wall of galaxies with a length of 300 million light years.

My image, which could do with a lot more exposure, comprises of 15 x 180sec exposures. Maybe one for next winter.
