Default ASTRO: NGC 157

This is another Herschel 400 object, a galaxy this time. It's also one I
never revisited since observing it for the list in the early 80's.
Seeing was poor and while it has several HII regions I should have been
able to pick up, seeing seems to have obliterated them. Halpha probably
would help as well. This will have to do for now. I couldn't find a
good distance estimate for this one but since it is a lone galaxy, not
part of a group the red shift distance of 60 million light years may be
somewhat in the ball park.

14" LX200R @ F/10, L=4x10' binned 2x2, RGB=2x10' binned 3x3,
STL-11000XM, Paramount ME
