Seldom Imaged Galaxy - Draco

I think some of you have imaged this guy though. NGC 4236 is a galaxy spanning about 22 arc minutes in Draco. I suspect it is not frequently visited due to its low surface brightness. Its odd that it is dim yet relatively close (as part of the M81 group). I actually binned the luminance 2x2 in order to get reasonable signal level. The image and exposure / processing details are here:

Hi Jim

Beautiful Galaxy and one I've never seen before ! great work and I really do hope you get much more exposures for It.

Hi Jim,

Nice image, I think I'll try this one soon.

Jeff

That is an interesting object Jim, and a nice image as well. I sure hope my skies clear up soon. We are about to float away from all the rain and snow here in Utah.
Cheers,

Jim,

Boy, that sucker's dim! Nice job catching it!

Thanks for the comments folks. any more activity on this one may have to happen next year as it is only available in the west now.

ooh that's an interesting image.
Nicely done.

Greg.
