Description

This little guy was interesting.. It is believed to be spinning backwards than what you might expect, due to a collision with another galaxy long ago. There was a supernova in 2009, but I can't see any trace of it left with my little scope.

I tried 2x drizzle to increase the size, but the stars didn't look very natural, so it actually looked better without drizzle.
