Description

Once again, I'm trying to follow @Gary's big footsteps to find those tiny little gems out there in the vastness of the universe.

With 1,6 arcmin size and only 13.7 mag this is really a hard one (and once again I wish I lived in an area with less humid air and better seeing).
UGC is 130MLy away.

This fine little galaxy is rarely imaged, you will find just a handfull of images in the web. But it is one of Gary's Astrobin Debut objects. He's also the creator of it's nickname

Thank you for dropping by!

Cheers
Mike
