Description

In my image here, this unusual and rare ring galaxy doesn’t show much colour, seemingly no stellar activity and star forming in this region, however from reading more about this galaxy on

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=pia18847http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-367 and other resources I have learned some fascinating details.

I’m glad to discern my image reveals the distinct inner and outer rings and the very subtle “S” shaped bluish central bar.

I have photographed this galaxy on the October 28 during an Astro camp in “Little Desert Lodge”, Victoria, Australia

Version F: I used Nik's filters to reduce noise
