Description

Object type : barred spiral galaxy type SBb(rs)
Distance : 63 million lightyears
Starcount : 400 billion
Diameter : 100,000 lightyears

A small galaxy (5x4 arcminutes) with a faint surface brightness. I shooted this galaxy for 2 hours under half moon circumstances. A lot to do for the future, but for now I'm confident. In the future, I have to shoot much more data for this galaxy.
