Coddington's Nebula

Discovered in 1898 by American astronomer Edward Foster Coddington, Coddington's Nebula is not actually a nebula but rather an irregular dwarf galaxy and part of the M81 galaxy group.

 

Imaged in January 2017 with an Altair Astro 6" RC and Atik 460ex. Captured in SGPro and processed Pixinsight and CS5.
