Description

This is the last last picture of my namibian astrotrip. The SBc type galaxy in Centaurus is quite articulated and dim. You can not directly see the core region due to strong dust lanes, which are dominant  in the overall appearance. It is classified to belong to the group of Seyfert galaxies and it's distance is about 17 Mly from our galaxy. I personally like the very structured shape a lot and so it has got a target to image on my astrotrip. Hope you like it too.

Cheers, Christoph
