NGC2511
About this celestial object
NGC 2511 punctuates the wide star field as a distant, compact galaxy.
Small background galaxies often show only an inconspicuous core and delicate outer regions; NGC 2511 is one of these faint, far-off targets.
The low altitude above the horizon challenges contrast and tracking; many short frames steady the result against seeing and haze.
Captured at 250 mm, f/5.
