IC 284 - LRGB
IC 284 (UGC 2581, PGC 11643 and others) is appears to be a low surface brightness spiral located approximately 123 million light-years away (by redshift) in Perseus.
PGC 11646 (2MASX J03060656+4221569, ZW V 319 and others) is the companion on the right (west). Some sources say this one is behind IC 284.
Luminance – 24x600s – 240 minutes – binned 1x1
RGB – 8x300s – 40 minutes each – binned 2x2
360 minutes total exposure – 6 hours
Imaged December 21st and 22nd, 2022 from Dark Sky New Mexico at Rancho Hidalgo (Animas, New Mexico) with a SBIG STF-8300M on an Astro-Tech AT12RCT at f/8 2432mm.
