Thanks, Colin!

Thanks, Bill. Yes, the star field is quite pretty.

Hi, Geoff. Wikipedia gives it 9.3 min arc at a distance of 12.7 MLY, which would make it 34 KLY across. That makes it somewhere between the LMC at 14 KLY and the Milky Way at 100 KLY.

Have a peek at the H-alpha thumbnail also!

Best,
Mike
