A distant galaxy in M 67 Star Cluster

Catalogue of Principal Galaxies, which has thousands of galaxies in it is a famous catalogue to find distant galaxies in your astro images. While imaging recently the famous M 67 cluster, i could easily see hundreds of far away galaxies in the images coming in the storage disk.

One of the galaxies i saw is PGC 4565962 which has a ‘look back time’ of some 3.2 billion light years!
