Description

This is another try to capture tiny galaxies. NGC7217 is about 54 Mly away and measures only 4.5x3.8 arcmin in the sky. The tiny details between the core and the outer blueish ring are very weak and the resolution of my "small" EdgeHD 8 isn't enough to resolve them (or collimation is not good enough, or the seeing...). Some more hours of data could have helped too - who knows ;-) Even though I could pull out quite some colors of the galaxy, I had some difficulties getting the star colors right. However, despite the limits in exposure time and optics, I'm happy with the result.
