Description

Taken from my light polluted backyard in Cheshire, England.

Image taken using Voyager using a DragScript for full unattended imaging.  Very unusual galaxy in Canes Venatici.  Intermediate Spiral Galaxy at magnitude 8.24.  Shows two ring structures which is actually a fainter outer spiral arm, as evidenced in Hubble Images - maybe showing slightly in this image at the lower left, but unfortunately I do not own a Hubble (lol).

Processed in PixInsight.
