Description

A quick look at IC2574 Coddington's Nebula. This galaxy is a member of the M81 galaxy group and is circum-polar at my latitude so always visible.

Imaged up at a Bortle 3 site above 9,000 feet with no moon in sometimes howling winds. Unfortunately I didn't have enough acquisition time to collect a lot of RGB data or any Hydrogen-Alpha. I hope to return to this target someday and get more data to work with.

Processed with the full suite of Russell Croman AI tools: BlurXTerminator, StarXTerminator, and NoiseXTerminator.
