IC 4630

IC 4630 (UGC 10607, PGC 59257, VV 852 and others) is an odd galaxy located in Hercules. This could be a couple interacting galaxies. There’s definitely a faint plume of something above the galaxy as well.

There’s an odd nebula at the top left. This shows up in survey images and an image from Rick Johnson posted around ten years ago - IC 4630 and a mystery nebula - Experienced Deep Sky Imaging - Cloudy Nights. This one seems to have no designation.

See the annotated image for more objects.

Luminance – 25x600s – 250 minutes – binned 1x1
RGB – 8x300s – 40 minutes each – binned 2x2

370 minutes total exposure – 6 hours 10 minutes

Imaged March 23rd and 24th, April 21st, 28th and 29th and May 10th and 11, 2023 from Dark Sky New Mexico at Rancho Hidalgo (Animas, New Mexico) with a SBIG STF-8300M on an Astro-Tech AT12RCT at f/8 2432mm.
