Description

Object type : Spiral galaxy type SABbc
Distance : 66 million lightyears
Diameter : 100,000 lightyears

Over 2 nights with half moon, I shooted this galaxy. Total more than 3 hours of exposures. Because the moon was not far away, I had some difficulties during post processing. Nevertheless, I am confident with this result.
