Description

At only 40 million light years away, this galaxy is a wonderful example of an edge on spiral galaxy, similar to our own Milky Way.  I also has some of the same properties as the Sombrero Galaxy, although it seems a little thinker in the outer reaches, from the bulbous center, to the edges, than the Sombrero.  This is my latest attempt at this very cool galaxy.  Clear Skies
