Description

Hi guys,

wow, that was quite a challenge. I do not know how I found this little gem anymore but I wanted to try myself on a more obscure object. This is a low surface brightness galaxy at about 15.2 mag surface brightness and this has got to be the edge of what is possible from my location.

Processing was a challenge as well - this is the best I could come up with balancing noise, sharpness, colors and contrast.

This is about a 50% crop of the full field.
