Gallery of "Distant Galaxies" imaged with my 12" LX200 telescope and ST-10XME Camera (2019-2020+)

Project was inspired from seeing a web page https://www.astronomy-mall.com/Adventures.In.Deep.Space/Farout%20NGC-IC.pdf  which listed NGC & IC Galaxies that lay greater than 1000 million light years away.
