Description

NGC 7479 is a relatively tiny spiral galaxy in Pegasus (tiny for my refractor's 850 mm of focal length), but a buddy of mine (Ryan W) recommended it to me just because of all of the IFN associated with its surrounds.  

NGC 7497 is located 60 million years from us and appears behind this interstellar dust nebula that is only a thousand light years away. 

IFN is high galactic latitude nebulae that are illuminated from the integrated flux of all the stars in the Milky Way. These nebulae include dust particles, hydrogen and carbon monoxide and can be found in the direction of both the north and south celestial poles.

We headed out late August in the new moon phase to try to capture the IFN associated with this pretty galaxy.  

Thanks for looking, this is my first try at catching IFN.
