NGC 1023 - 18.11.2022 at 23.50 Orimattila, Artjärvi, Tähtikallio Observation number 111088

Visibility IV / V

Toni Veikkolainen, Kari Laihia, Juha Blad, Keski-Uudenmaan Altair

The purpose was to photograph in color the easily distinguishable rod lens gala that was photographed in black and white less than a year earlier , and we can be satisfied with the end result. Even the slightly irregular shape of the object stood out nicely.
