| Description | A fascinating barred galaxy: notable due to its intact ring structure surrounding a barred bulge... Fairly large and reasonably bright. A handsome capture included in the Cloudy Nights July 2024 challenge. Captured on an evening with so-so transparency: a thin layer of high clouds. Accordingly, I decided to capture in Bin2 with good results. This was the first observation of the night, began before full astronomical dusk. It didn't seem to suffer too much. |
