Description

I love the local nebulosity which shares the visible space with NGC 6951, an active a type 2 Seyfert galaxy (SAB) galaxy which is 78.6 million light years away.  It is slightly less that 3'x2' in diameter.  I find it a fun area to image, and will no doubt come back again to this little one.
