Description

This low surface brightness spiral galaxy is a mere 14 million light years away from Earth.  I added Hydrogen alpha data to bring out several regions of the galaxy which otherwise appeared washed out beforehand.

Interesting factoid is that the center of this galaxy is thought to have one of the smallest known supermassive black hole masses.  Enjoy!
