Default ASTRO: Andromeda VI

Here's another dud I found cleaning the hard drive. It is in the center
but you'll need to dig into the dark to find it. It was taken on a poor
night and needs a lot more time. With both I should be able to resolve
some stars in it rather than just have a grainy almost too faint to find
blob. This guy is so faint it wasn't discovered until 1998! So I guess
I shouldn't complain too much about it. It is made up of only old main
sequence stars so they are very faint. Photos with the 3.5 meter WIYN
scope fully resolves it showing no nebulosity.

Here's my much inferior version but then a 3.5 meter scope is a bit
beyond my budget.

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

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

Faint but it has some detail, looks like you have resolved some stars.

Great shot Rick. I imaged Andromeda VII some years ago, maybe I should try
some of the other "Andromedas" too.
