Description

Object type : Spiral galaxy type SA(s)b
Distance : 2.5 million lightyears
Diameter : 220,000 lightyears

Under good conditions (no moon), but some light pollution (which I could remove), I shooted this photo with my small widefield telescope. More than 3 hours of exposures resulted in this picture.  I did not use guiding this time.
