Description

Sextans Irregular Galaxy (Sextans A) is an elliptical galaxy located at 4.3 mly.  In processing this image, it was interesting to see so many other galaxies present within the starfield.

For my own curiosity, I will look up some distances of some.  For example, pgc154795 on the left is 840 mly distance.  Amazing what a terrestrial scope can pick up.
