Description

I usually don't try small galaxies at this focal length, 535mm.  But this was our astronomy clubs November Challenge, so I gave it a try.  Very happy with how this turned out.  This is a very active small, star forming galaxy, is only about a million light years away, and was finally named as one of our local group galaxies in 1996.  Welcome to the neighborhood!  Clear Skies
