Description

Object type : Spiral galaxy
Distance : 30 million lightyears
Starcount : 100 billion
Diameter : 95,000 lightyears
Maginitude : 10

This galaxy has a low surface brightness, and it's a small object. Not the easiest object with my equipment without guiding. Nevertheless, I am confident with the result. Still way too less data, that's why I have to visit this galaxy more often for sure.
