NGC 247 and her rich background

Dear all, below is the link to my image of NGC 247, is a dwarf spiral galaxy in Cetus, member (together with NGC 253 which has almost the same apparent size ) of the Sculptor Group.

NGC 247

This is a HaLRGB composition even if the Ha contribution was pretty marginal. Despite the little resolution of the galaxy itself due to my relatively short FL, what is nice to me is the rich background which features a multitude of other galaxies, located a lot farther than NGC 247. Details on the image's page.

Clear skies
