Description

Well, this galaxy probably deserves to be in the Arp catalog. Its a member of the M94 group of galaxies. Its actually a face on spiral, but only if you look carefully enough to spot the three arms that radiate almost radially outward from the core. Its almost looks like an irregular galaxy that has finally decided to start forming arms.

Each of the 5 eight minute images that were stacked to produce this images were themselves 160 three second image live-stacked in SharpCap.
