| Comments: | |
| There is enough luminance to really bring out a lot of the background galaxies that I haven't seen before. Click on the image to see a full sized version if you would like to go galaxy hunting in the image. For comparison, you can CLICK HERE to see my first attempt at this galaxy with basically the same equipment. That first attempt was actually my first published image in Sky & Telescope Magazine. | |
