This luminous orb is the galaxy NGC 4621, better known as Messier 59. As this latter moniker indicates, the galaxy was listed in the famous catalogue of deep-sky objects compiled by French comet-hunter Charles Messier in 1779. However, German astronomer Johann Gottfried Koehler is credited with discovering the galaxy just days before Messier added it to his collection.

The game

Crested Caracara from VIera Wetlands. I was focused on another bird when this Caracara flew past. Only had a moment to lock onto this bird. I'm not sure what kind of prey he is carrying. I think that is a Plecco or Armored Catfish, an invasive fish.
