Located in the constellation Camelopardalis at a distance of about 11 million light-years from Earth. Diameter 75,000 light-years, apparent size 21.4' x 20.9'. One of the first objects captured at the beginning of the season, after the nearly white nights. The object is challenging, and I still couldn't bring out the color; it clearly calls for additional narrowband data.
