Two galaxies near the Andromeda galaxy that are rather faint and not very remarkable except for their proximity in the sky. A very warm night did not help the camera digital noise level. Image compiled of 240 second subs with 2 hours and 52 minutes total time.

From the Web:

“NGC 147 is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy about 2.58 Mly away in the constellation Cassiopeia. NGC 147 is a member of the Local group of galaxies and a satellite galaxy of the Andromeda Galaxy. It forms a physical pair with the nearby galaxy NGC 185”
