Description

This was a tough one. Low in the south/southeast (buried in the St. Louis light dome), I started imaging when it was only 14 degrees above the horizon. At the meridian it was only 25 degrees high. Integration time was limited due to my western tree line. Obviously it could use more subs but I won't revisit it here.
My fascination with this galaxy stems from my first visit to Star Hill Inn in Sapello New Mexico in 1998. It was the first galaxy I ever viewed through a telescope (a C14).
