| About this Object: | |
| This galaxy has impressed me for some reason since I first saw an image of it. It is just so 'smooth' around the large bar. It is hard to tell where the arms begin. It looked really great in my 25" Obsession too. | |

| Comments: | |
| Not bad for a 12 month effort. Last year I got the luminance during the only 1/2 good night that we had. I got the color at the 2008 TSP to finish it. On the full resolution version, I counted over 115 background galaxies ! ! ! | |
