Description

An example of a faint 'Ring' Galaxy is ngc 6028, in Hercules and low in the sky for me. My image is very poor, apologies, but does show a very faint ring formation. Mag. 14.8 and surface brightness less than 15. Size about 1.3' x 1.2', small. Probably formed by it's rotating bar, which is not now apparent.
