Dwarf Galaxy IC1613 in Cetus

SPX350 F4.5, ST10XME, Astrodon filters L HaRGB.

This Dwarf galaxy is quite bright - mag 9.9 - at 2.38 million lyrs away closer to us than M31 and has a blue shift. Somewhere in Cetus near Pisces it is really not imaged much but has a large HII regions. It was discovered in 1906 and I noticed it in CCD Calc so thought I would give it a try as you don't see it imaged often, even though it is quite large at 16x14 arc min.

L-5hrs50min
HaRGB-1hr Binx2

Thanks, John.
