Description

At only 6.5 million light years away, IC1537 likely lies between the Milky Way and the Sculptor group.  The irregular shape of this object is fascinating to me.

I always struggle with getting the color right on this type of object.  This time I tried to control my urge to over-saturate the image and go for, what I thought would be, a more natural look.  I would greatly appreciate your feedback on that. --Tim
