Description

This image is among the first galaxy images that I have obtained using my Celestron C8 Schmidt-Cassegrain. It is also one of the first I made using an off-axis guider.

The image features the recently discovered Supernova SN 2023ixf. This is seen as the brightest star in the outermost arm of the galaxy on the right of center of the image next to NGC5461.
