Description

This is a rarely imaged HII galaxy in the Boötes constellation. However, on Feb 17 2013 a supernova was discovered in this galaxy, but it has faded away before these subs were taken (2915 03 14 - 2016 05 28), see http://www.rochesterastronomy.org/sn2013/sn2013ab.html

This is a an RGB image that I processed from free data from the Liverpool Telescope, a 2 m RC reflector on La Palma.
