Description

NGC 3109 is either a Magellanic-type irregular galaxy or a small spiral galaxy (in which case it would be the smallest spiral galaxy in the local group). The HII region east of the galaxy is an outcrop of the giant Gum 12 nebula.

Oliver Schneider, Faried Abu-Salih and I work together as "DSI (Deep Sky Imaging) Team" at our observatory at the Rooisand Desert Ranch, Namibia.
