Description

NGC 891 Sliver Sliver Galaxy (Caldwell 23) is an edge-on galaxy in Andromeda. It is a member of the small group of galaxies called NGC 1023 Group. 

The Moon was in 1st quarter and fairly bright but Andromeda was a fair distance away, so I did not think it would interfere. I used Celestron 11in Edge SCT and added a dew shield for additional light protection.
