Description

NGC 185 is 10.1 magnitude, while NGC 147 is 10.5 magnitude, which is the dimmest galaxy I have ever seen in my images.
My Bortle number is a 6, sometimes a 5½.

My equipment is a Canon mirrorless camera, 24-70mm lens, and ball-head tripod.
I was originally imaging M31.

The cool thing is that I keep finding new objects in my old images.

Both galaxies were found using Siril's annotating feature (the image was also processed in Siril).
