Description

The same day after shooting Comet Leonard until dawn, I was back at the observatory to take advantage of a clear, moonless night. With good transparency and steady guiding, I chose NGC 660– a polar ring galaxy 45 million light years away in Pisces. It didn't look like much in the camera, but Pixinsight stacking works miracles.
