About this image

NGC 4102 is a small colourful barred spiral galaxy, with potential for being a great target to image. However, my night was plagued by a full moon and the neighbour's security light, which made conditions very difficult. I couldn't find any other images of this galaxy on the BAA gallery so this may well be a first, and the challenge now is to improve on this with a better one in the future.
