Very good image Glen. This galaxy is new to me.

A low surface brightness galaxy imaged through the Sacramento light
dome. I could not find any scientfic papers on this galaxy.

The green channel was synthesized from the red/blue channels. The
Astrodon-I green filter is not a good match for the scope/camera
generating a large reflection in the Mewlon.
