Description:

Revisiting the Tadpole Galaxy with 8 years newer technology and experience: This is a “hybrid” using my old CCD color and new CMOS luminance. I particularly liked how the tadpole is visible 468 Million Light Years again a Milky Way star only 879 light years distant. The tadpole tail is 600X + longer than this “nearby” star’s distance. (-:
