John;

That is a terrific image of a difficult object.  For a small and faint
galaxy that image contains lots of detail.  Along with the supergiant =
region
on the right of the galaxy is a chain of bright starburst regions on the
left side. =20

Very nice;
Steve Coe

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Coddington's Nebula

Hi All,
Here's a photo I took of Coddington's Nebula, A.K.A. IC 2574, which is a
dwarf irregular galaxy located in the M81/M82 group.  I took it from
McDowell Mountain park, which has more light pollution than I'm used to.
This galaxy has a highly studied supergiant shell region (on the right =
in
this image) that is still expanding.
