IC10 - dwarf galaxy

Not sure where the idea to image IC10 came from, as I seldom have an original idea for a target, but in a rare cloud free period, I managed 90 minutes at this dwarf galaxy with the SW 190 mn and ASI 2600.

What prompted anyone to find out that it was an external galaxy rather than a nebula, I've no idea but it's definitely a slightly odd one. Small, irregular, starbursting and approaching us quite quickly and difficult to study because of intervening material.
