Description

LRGB taken between 9th and 12th September from PixelSkies.
This is 134x300" Lum with 72x180" each of RGB taken at around SQM 21.5.

The Integrated Flux Nebula, designated MBM54, in the foreground is approx 900-1000 LY distant. This forms part of a catalogue by Magnani, Blitz and Mundy, created in 1885, that maps much of the IFN. Seen through this is NGC7497, an uncommonly imaged 12th magnitude galaxy in Pegasus that is approx 55-60 million LY distant.

Together, and with some of the other smaller galaxies, i think they make a striking pair.
