Description

Also known as the Dusty Hand Galaxy, this barred spiral is being warped by strong gravitational interactions. NGC 2146 is classified as a starburst galaxy and many pink star forming regions are visible.

I'm still fighting with collimation of the telescope though, and had to discard most of the field. This is a 2x drizzle stacked and 75% downsampled dataset.
