We are probably nearing the limit of all we can know about astronomy.

In memoriam Halton C. Arp (1927-2013).


My astronomy sketches. Hover mouse over image for the inverted look. For fainter objects, take a look at the black-on-white original, sometimes it reveals more details.

Description:

Medium brightness, small galaxy, elongated in the E-W directions, it's shape reminds me of an eye. Its Southern side looks a bit brighter near the fuzzy star-like core. The core is only slightly brighter than the rest of the galaxy and I estimate it to have a brightness of about 13.9m. The air is very humid.
