      Description

      Hi all,

      This is an extended astro collaboration.

      Authors are: Colin McGill, Detlef Hartmann, Francesco Corrao, Aldo Grassi and me.

      The last three are worldwide known as M-PIG (Mount Pollino Imaging Group) - pun intended

      Jokes apart, this galaxy is a real beauty. In a heavily stretched version one can see something that resembles a stellar stream, starting from the end of the lower spiral arm and extending to the lower right side of the image.

      In this version, this feature is barely visible.

      Anyway, here are some tech data.
