One of six “integral sign” galaxies in the Atlas
IC 342 / Hidden Galaxy / C5 Revisit
Revisit to this surprisingly challenging galaxy target
NGC 925

Return to an stunning Caldwell galaxy for CN October 25 Challenge
Arp 227 / NGC 470 / NGC 474
A classic Arp duet with the upper galaxy showing a faint ring
NGC 7770 Triplet
Three NGC galaxies having lots of interactions, plus potentially some other little guys.
NGC 6979 / Pickerings Triangle
An obscure, dim section of the Veil Nebula, aka Cygnus Loop
LBN 437 | Gecko Nebula | Sh2-126
An extremely challenging target, barely visible here.
