Description

NGC 2146, a distorted starburst galaxy in Camelopardalis. I have heard it called the "integral sign" galaxy (for the math fans).

Revision 5/18/2020: Reprocessed this really old image today, just for fun. The new image has much smaller stars, and the field of view is wider. The original version had to be cropped due to some very bad reflections from within my imaging train. I finally figured out how to remove them from the image after 6 years!
