Another great night for imaging and a classic target! The moon at first quarter was bright but my target was across the sky to the North East in the dark. I had very nice tracking and a long run of 240 second exposures. 54 frames used for a total of 3 hours 36 minutes compiled in this image. Pushed some more detail for sure compared to my last run on this one in 2021.
Just off the Big Dipper handle, this is such a phenomenal galaxy to explore, and was the first galaxy to be classified as a spiral galaxy. The entangled dwarf galaxy is of great interest to astronomers who study the complex interaction.
