Description

This is a an RGB image that I processed from free data from the Liverpool Telescope, a 2 m RC reflector on La Palma. There is not much readily available information on this galaxy. Simbad classifies it as a low surface brightness galaxy. To me it also looks quite disorganized.

The few images I found of this galaxy on the net are quite fuzzy and this may be the most detailed so far, but it could have been better if there had been more data available in the LT archive.

Filters and exposures used (from 2014 09 16 - 2016 10 01)

sdss-r 9 x 90 s (red channel)

Bessell V 4 x 90 s (green channel)
