Description

NGC 6070 is a multi-arm spiral galaxy whose arms start far from the core.  It has a bright core surrounded by many star clusters that merge into a pseudo ring at my resolution but show as separate clusters in high resolution images.  Then there's a rather featureless red region with the blue arms starting beyond the red disk.

Nice write up on Cloudy Nights..... yet-another-great-spiral-thats-ignored.....
