Description

Object type : Spiral galaxy
Distance : 11,8 million lightyears
Diameter : about 90,000 lightyears
Number of stars : > 250 billion

April 2, 2021
Under goog circumstances, I took  over 1 hour of exposures with the UV/IR Cut filter.

April 29, 2022
Added almost 1,5 hour data with the Optolong L-pro filter. Unfortunately, these data wasn't from the same quality as from April 2, 2021. Nevertheless, the 2 results stacked together gave a much better result than before.
