Description

We finally had a break in the weather here - conditions still weren't great, but of course I had to image something! I thought this was a pretty challenging object, given its small apparent size and faintness (apparent mag. = 11.1). I'd love to get more exposure time on it, but clouds are forecast for at least the next week .

NGC 5907 is an edge-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Draco, about 50 million light-years from Earth.
