Description

Object type : low surface brightness spiral galaxy

Distance : 14 million lightyears

Diameter : 50,000 lightyears

Because of the low surface, I programmed the Asiair to take exposures for 3,5 hours. Unfortunately, clouds came in during the session, and moist was taking over the lens of my telescope. That's why, I only could use 142 minutes. Still more than 2 hours, but many exposures didn't have high quality. Nevertheless, I'm happy with this result under these circumstances.
