Description

I will probably capture more data on this beautiful galaxy, but I surprised how nice just 1 hour of data looked. This is a relatively close galaxy (only 10 to 22 million light years away) on the border of the Cepheus & Cygnus constellations. This is an active galaxy with 9 observed supernovae and is highly obscured by interstellar matter from the Milky Way Galaxy
