Thats a good catch

 

what kit were you using ?

[Tweedledee]

Another unusual local group irregular galaxy that rarely sees the limelight. It is a bit closer to us than M31 or M33 but is difficult because it is trying to shine through a rich area of Milky Way gas and dust in Cassiopiea. This is an active starburst galaxy and is quite unusual in that it is embedded in a mostly invisible envelope of hydrogen gas hundreds of times larger than the galaxy and rotating in a different direction to the galaxy itself.

 

Great to see these lesser known galaxies Clive.
