I'd never heard of this wonderful galaxy before last night, but it sure is an interesting one. It almost looks as if stars are boiling off into space - that cloud of stars around and especially above the plane of the galaxy is real.
Eleven luminance images, 10 minutes each - 5 one one side of the meridian, and 6 on the other. LIke NGC7331, this one is dimmer than it looks, so I didn't have time to get color. I'll have to do that on another night, as it looks like color would really bring this one to life.
Taken with the remote scope (C14, ST-1001E, Paramount ME).
