Description

The Spanish Dancer (NGC 1566) captured in LRGB. Some nice little background galaxies scattered around too.

Apparently the bright star just SE of the centre (at least the way it's oriented) is the supernova SN 2021AEFX - hence my update to the image title
Supernova 2021aefx in NGC 1566 (rochesterastronomy.org)
