NGC2342


A brief glance into the depths of the universe: NGC 2342.
The distant galaxy is visually inconspicuous, yet its summed light comes from countless stars in a far‑off system.
Only a few degrees above the horizon, seeing and haze limit contrast—yet the series of short exposures teases out structure.
Total: about 27 minutes at 250 mm and f/5.
