About this image

The Deep Sky section target of the month for March 2025.

The Seestar S50 in EQ configuration has managed to pull out some detail and in this image, of just over 3h, has also picked out the edge on or irregular galaxy PGC 1237172, which I've also seen designated as MAC 0937-0246 and UGC 05130, to the upper right of NGC2936. Identified in the Interstellarium Deep Sky Guide.
