Description

This is a reworked version of data that I collected back in the spring of 2020.
New tools in PixInsight resulted in a sharper image with more colour.

In the inverted and super stretched luminance master, several interested features are visible. I've annotated the image with reference to this article:
https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0004-637X/767/2/133
A, B, C, and D are dwarf galaxies. The galaxies are the darker areas just above the letters, except for galaxy D which is just below the D.
The darker structure F4 is a tidal stream extending from galaxy VCC 165.

Total integration time, just shy of 13 hours
