This pair is located up at declination 80 degrees, close to the North celestial pole in the constellation Camelopardalis, the Giraffe. NGC 2336 is at the lower left and is about 5 arc-minutes by 2.8 arc minutes in size. IC 467 at the upper right is about 2 x 1 arc-minutes in size. Sprinkled across the background are hundreds of tiny distant galaxies, including a least two galaxy clusters.
The image data was captured in December and January from the remote observatory. Seeing conditions were unusually poor during that time, not the best time to be imaging itty-bitty objects like these, but I was able to get some long exposure time to pick up the deep objects in the background.
