Howdy Tezza! Nice to see you on IIS

Love this galaxy, t'was the subject of my second last image taken from my previous observatory before moving up into the mountains

The intriguing thing is the thin almost spider web like arms, looks quite a bit like NGC 289 and NGC 1512, cool.

Incidentally the inner ring is 2.5', the inner spiral arms are 4' across but the outer fainter arms you have revealed extend that size out to about 6' or 7', very nice

Mike
