Hi folks.
imaged from Heaven's Mirror Observatory in Sierra Nevada, NGC 6015 is a warped spiral galaxy in Draco, south of the bowl of the Little Dipper. It's distance is estimated between 55 and 66 million light-years.
The galaxy 'smudge' off to the east is SDSS J155136.52+621728.6.
Take a look at the 4 o'clock position off NGC6015 to see a very interesting galaxy - my limited research on this suggests it is a 'cometary galaxy'. It is listed as PGC 2634580 (mag 17.8) and the one below that is PGC 2634670/

This galaxy has very strong HII emissions, which I captured with almost 5 hrs Ha and there are some amazing galaxy clusters around NGC 6015 and off to the right of the image.
So, this is an HaLRGB image consisting of 5:12:4:4:4 hours for a total of 29 hours taken with the 17" CDK and U16M.
Hope you like it.
cheers
Martin
