This Galaxy can be seen overhead with a pair of binoculars and even the naked eye on a clear night.
Unfortunately I live in a light polluted area in southern England which makes it difficult to get very detailed images. Still its great fun trying.
I put the notes on the image as I was amazed that this object contains a trillion stars like our sun. Imagine who is looking back at me in our galaxy The Milky Way. Even more odd is that they would be seeing the Earth as it was some 2.5 million years ago.
