Description

The Annotations script in Pixinsight sure is powerful and a LOT of fun, if like me you love to go dumpster diving into the faint background stuff. There are a LOT of obvious background galaxies in this image NOT in the PGC catalog which is nice considering these are only 180 second exposures under Bortle 4 sky. Astrobin won't solve for those so I post the annotated image for the curious. I find extra galactic quasars with verified proper motions truly fascinating as those motions are not in accordance with their red-shifts!
