Description

Their location near the North celestial pole means my southern location in Florida isn't the advantage it usually is - these galaxies are in the light-polluted murk near the horizon here. But, enough hours of integration time yielded a decent image nonetheless.

100 million light-years away - it's just mind blowing. T-Rex and Triceratops were running around when this light started its journey to my telescope.
