About this image

Damian collected the data for this image over two nights in November 2015 using the remote 27" TDK scope in Siding Spring, Australia.

This 11th magnitude face on galaxy is located 60 million light years away in the constellation of Eridanus and is one of the finest examples in the sky of a classic barred spiral galaxy.
