Description

While zooming in and looking  around on my previous Witches Head Nebula image I noticed these small galaxies and decided to image them at 925mm FL. At 4 o'clock from NGC 1723 is PGC2816442, according to Sky Safari that galaxy is located 647 million light years away. It is just a small smudge but neat to have grabbed a few photons from it.
