Description

I had some good luck with the weather at my location in this year, so I could collect quite some data for this galaxy. Nevertheless it was a fight against the light pollution. While some details in the dust parts of the galaxy become visible, the halo is more or less a noisy blob.

On the plus side there are some cute galaxies visible in the background and of course, as this is just one of about 100 known polar ring galaxies, it has a touch of exotic.
