About this image

Nearly 2 hours of observation with a Dwarf 3 of NGC4460 and NGC4449. Lenticular galaxy NGC4460 in Canes Venatici is the March object of interest. It is the lens-shaped object that lies near the bright star in the upper centre of this frame (the star is actually a double). The starburst galaxy NGC4449 (also called the Box Galaxy) is right of centre and the brightest galaxy in this image. This is the full frame from the Dwarf 3. Auto parameters and processed in Stellar Studio. There are many other galaxies in this frame and I hope to put up an annotated image subsequently.
