Abell 73/PK95+7.1

Here is another obscure object that does not receive much attention. And I can see why-man, is thing faint. A quick net search doesn't reveal much. I had to really stretch this image to get it visible. But, at least I can see it. I knew it was faint and enjoyed the challenge of trying to capture it.

Wow, that is faint. Not as faint as Abell 17 though. I looked for that one on a challenge list at Okie-Tex last week before I found out that it was actually a plate defect--nonexistant! Why it was on the challenge list, I don't know. :S

Great photo Chris!

Very cool stuff Chris. I love seeing these faint little gems that normally get overlooked.
Cheers,
