Remarks:

Even the nearly 11 hours of exposure time are not enough to show the end of the spiral arms of this low surface brightness galaxy. They become more obviouse in the inverted display below.

   

Bemerkungen:

Trotz der fast 11 Stunden Belichtungszeit, die äußeren Spiralarme dieser Galaxie verdämmern im Himmelshintergrund. Deutlicher wird das in der invertierte Form (s.u.).
