IC2497 is an extinguished Quasar standing at 730 million lightyears distance from us. 45000-75000 lightyears before that is a intergalactic cloud, called Hanny's Voorwerp. It is lit up by the extinguished quasar. This object was found by a Dutch teacher on the Galaxy Zoo. This is the widefield with just below the middle IC2497 and right-bottom of that Hanny's Voorwerp. Shot using an Artemis 4021 mono in prime focus of my 200mmF5 Newtonian reflector. It is a combination of 3 20min exposures.
This is an inverted crop. In the center you see IC2497 and the small vague cloudbelow it is Hanny's Voorwerp.
