Description

Decided to roll the dice on my most recent DSO by Googling "galaxies in Bootes. The first to come up was NGC 5579. I framed it up and found it was way out at the extended reaches of my scope's capabilities. I thought better of it until I searched for it on Astrobin and found only 3 images with this galaxy as the primary target. So I decided to give this 169,000,000 light year distance, magnitude 14.5 galaxy a try. All-in-all I have few complaints. If I try it again I will take longer subs. I have cropped this quite a bit. This will also be my last image with the subpar ZWO LRGB set.
