Description

A very faint dwarf galaxy in UMi that has no more star birth activity. Extremely faint, only discovered in 1954/55, and a region of sky that has little else in a deep exposure. Interesting to see how galaxies eventually give up the ghost!

PGC 54074 doesn't plate solve in most standard applications. In this image, it is roughly the elliptical speckled region starting from the centre towards 40'clock position just between the two bright stars.
