Description

The sky area around NGC 2148 contains a lot of tiny background galaxies. Revision D shows objects from SIMBAD Astronomical Database. There is also a small fuzzy spot on the right side which looks like a dwarf galaxy. It is very faint and not visible in SDSS.

This image uses the same set of calibrated light as my recent image of the galaxy. The lights have been stacked and reprocessed from scratch for a wider field. During processing I've focused on the surroundings of the galaxy.

The original image and revision C use different processing workflows. I wonder which one looks better

Photometric color calibration with G8V star as a white reference.

Comments and critique are welcome!

Thanks for looking.
Vitali
