Hi,
The link below is to IC2574. When it was first discovered in 1898, they
thought it was a nebula, which is how it got its name, but this is actually
a dwarf irregular galaxy in Ursa Major. It is a faint little fuzzy so I got
about 18 hours of data. If you look at the full size uncropped version (link
below the image), I am pretty sure you can see the IFN. At first I thought I
had gradients, but there is definitely a cloud of some sort surrounding the
galaxy (especially in the lower right of the full size image) and there is
no nebula in the neighborhood. I posted the cropped version, but I may post
both versions as each one has its advantages.
