Would you say that the HII regions in this galaxy are small?
(It is known that much of the Massive Star formation in N253 is concentrated in the central region, highly obscured by dust)
Hello Robert,

I suppose the HII regions are small compared to the size of the galaxy. M31 springs to mind as well. At the other end of the scale is NGC604 in M33.

Clear skies
