Description

Taken in December of 2023 this is a very large and faint member of our Local Group of galaxies. IC 1613 in Cetus is an irregular dwarf discovered in 1906 by Max Wolf. I used a combination of no filter (by default the Seestar employs an UV/IR cut filter) and the dual band filter which helped to bring out the HII regions seen on the left side of the galaxy.
