About this celestial object

A distant galaxy just above the horizon — patiently brought out.

As a low-luminosity NGC galaxy, it appears visually inconspicuous and prefers dark, clear skies.

Low altitude and 71% humidity challenged the signal, which only emerged through the sheer number of frames.

568 exposures add up to nearly 95 minutes at 250 mm and F/5.
