Description

NGC 3310 is a star burst galaxy. It is thought to have merged with a satellite galaxy causing the star burst. Its active regions seem to have formed stars for at least the recent 40 million years.

This has been a difficult target due to the light pollution and high clouds. It probably needs a lot more lights to do it justice. Next year... The bright star has made me realize I need to rotate the Epsilon so its spider is parallel to the RC. I hope I got it right now.
