Description

The face-on galaxy NGC 3184 is located in the southern part of the formation Uma near the border to leo minor.
Near from the galaxy is a bright star pair Tania Borealis and Tania Australis. The reddish Tania Australis gives a beautiful colour contrast to the galaxy while the blueis Tania Borealis is still outside of the captured area - but can contribute some ugly reflection streaks. Therefore I had to retouch some area near the star HD88959.
