About this image

Star hopped from Dubhe to find this galaxy, one of the brightest non-Messier galaxy. A suitable guide star was hard to find and quite faint, meaning I had to use 4s exposure intervals in PHD guiding. Darks were subtracted as was a Flat, but using the latter gave some artifacts in processing.
