Description

Just beautiful galaxy. Type SAB(r), if you just look at the central region, it looks like a barred spiral with a ring, but then the outer portion just looks like a fairly standard loos spiral. The nights are so short right now, less than 4 hours, I really don't have a lot of time to spend on each target. I get out to dark sky sites rarely too, so I really feel I want to get a look at as many things as possible. I really need about 4x the exposure time to really do this one justice. I cheated here and stretched contrast a bit more than I should.
