Wow!

The integrated flux nebulosity is magnificent.

The galaxy itself is fascinating. It looks like a Magellanic or irregular dwarf galaxy, with clumpy blue star-forming regions, buried inside a near-featureless elliptical. I expect that's a rubbish explanation, because the scale would be all wrong. It would have to be a very small elliptical or a very big dwarf! Would love to know what's really happening.

No field rotation at only 10 degrees from the pole. Nice colours too.

Best,
Mike
