Description

Seeing was good enough for bin 2 on this dark sky outing earlier in the year. This lovely spiral in Canes Venetaci is large and bright, so made a good subject. Lovely dust lanes, etc. Suprised this galaxies isn't a more popular target.

That grainy bluish faint smudge at the upper left is irregular galaxy PGC/LEDA 166157.
