Description

LBN 406 was cataloged by Lynds in 1965 and almost 20 years later, in 1983, it was accidentally rediscovered by W. Goerigk and named by him as Draco Nebula. It lies approximately as far as 2600 Light Years from our solar system. The image also contain many faint, far distant galaxies and one of them are particularly interesting, at the top of the frame with a Saturn-like appearance. It is PGC58928, actually is a very large, barred spiral galaxy, located at about 400 Million Light Years from us and shines with brightness of 14.7 magnitude.
