Description

Object type : Spiral galaxy class SAB(s)bc

Distance : 23,7 million lightyears

Starcount : 400 billion

Diameter : 135,000 lightyears

Under good circumstances, I could take pictures of this galaxy. Only my new guiding system didn't do which it should do, that's why I turned guiding off, and took 60 exposures unguided. Polar alignment was good, that's why I'm still happy with the result.
