Description

As you can see Coddington's nebula IC2574 is a galaxy! It is a dwarf spiral galaxy discovered by American astronomer Edwin Foster Coddington in 1898. I assume that at the time galaxies were not clearly distinguished from other lumps of nebulosity. It is an outlying member of the M81 group. For those that believe in dark matter this galaxy is made up of 90% of the stuff.If you zoom in you can see that the RASA managed to collect quite a lot of galactic detail.
