NGC 7606, Aquarius
NGC 7606 is a Sb Spiral galaxy in Aquarius.  It shines at Magnitude 10.8 with a surface brightness of 13.3.  Just over and up to the left of  7606 is the 16th mag galaxy MAC 2319-0827.  Several other unnamed background galaxies are visible.  Due to moonlight when shooting the color frames, I had some gradients to deal with and less than optimal color saturation.
