Description

It's a "rainy night in Georgia," so doubling back to process the Knife Edge or Splinter Galaxy. Found 50 million light years away in the constellation of Draco, this image was taken on the night of June 12th earlier this year using my C-14 telescope with an ASI071 camera. Bands of dark-dust give rise to the splintered appearance of this distant edge-on spiral galaxy.
