Description

This is by far my southern most target. With 37 dec in the south, its peak altitude at our location is only 20deg. Still I can't resist taking the picture after M33 as they look alike. Yet the clarity and color saturation has been compromised due to too much interference from the atmosphere . This reminds me of NGC 253 (25deg s) - another blurry attempt for a southern object.

I also saw an interesting Hubble picture about this galaxy. Revision F shows the comparison. Probably only JWST can beat it.
