Description

I've tried imaging this faint galaxy before, and it didn't show up. But I gave it an honest attempt this time with a little over 16 hours of images. Still unbelievably difficult to see. It's dead center, and you can just make out some of the faint stars. I think my light polluted skies are really limiting me here. Not sure how many more hours I would need to bring out more of the stars, but I think I'm done on this one for a while.
