Description

Begining this project in the last year, I could finish it the last night. This Messier galaxy should get more attention. Classified as SBbc this galaxy is a nice example for a bar galaxy. Last night I was hardly fighting against the dew. Laying the spikes exactly over the version from last year was another challenge. Hope you like it.

Cheers, Christoph
