About this image

Reminiscent of M33 (with lots of star formation) this spiral was one of the more distant galaxies used by Edwin Hubble to derive and prove Hubble's Law.

It is actually in the M81 group although quite a way from it! Not the best evening for imaging. High cloud again, but enough 250sec exposures to make a reasonable image
