Description

Hi all.

This is an interesting object, a barred spiral galaxy with two low brightness arms.

This image, in my opinion, would have been a joy for the late Halton Arp.

Three small galaxies (two on a side and the other on the opposite side) almost perfectly aligned with respect to the nucleus of a bright (and relatively disturbed) galaxy....

Who knows what he would have been thinking....

The image itself is not so good, anyway. I shot at this galaxy in not optimal seeing condition (2.5" FWHM) and it lacks of signal.

But, anyway, I'm moderately happy with it.

Enjoy!
