Description

This is a nice face-on, relatively large even for my focal length, spiral galaxy in Ursa Major.  I first saw it in a picture by Dan here:  Dan in Paris image of NGC3184 which has fantastic resolution and detail.

Taken in late February whilst finishing NGC3486 earlier in the evening using the same tandem setup of L and OSC through the Astro-Physics refractors.

Check out the full field version and annotated image for all the background PGC galaxies and the cluster forming an inverted triangle between Tania Australis and NGC3184.
