Description

This one was a tough one for me to process. The galaxy is visually very close to the Milky Way plane and gets obscured by lot of dust and stars, making it dimmer (+8.6 mag) than it would have been, in spite of being relatively close by (10m light years) and having a relatively larger apparent size (19.8 x 18.8 arcmins) for a galaxy. The color also gets pushed to a murky brown/yellow hue due to the Milky Way dust in front of it.
