Description

Another image from Astroqueyras Mission ;

This galaxy is quite small, but very interesting. Even though this object is 30 million light years away, it is very active and you can still see some supergiant blue stars in it.

FWHM after stacking is close to 1.0" ; 60% of images selected in total

There is a bright star outside of the field in the top right ; you can see the diffraction spike going through the image.
