Default Astro: UGC 12342 and UGC 12350

That's a new one for me. Neat little guy. I like the detail in the 2x.

These galaxies are located in Pegasus just north of Markab the southwest
star of the Great Square of Pegasus and at the base of the horse's neck.

I've included a 2x enlargement of UGC 12342 better showing its very
weird detail.

14" LX200R @ f/10, L=4x10', RGB=1x20'x3, STL-11000XM, Paramount ME
