Added 2.5 hours of material to last year's, but the photo quality didn't improve much — the light pollution at our latitudes is too strong. Astronomical night ends on May 3 here and begins on August 8. The galaxy is not easy to process, but it's a most interesting object.

Located at 16 million light-years away. The diameter of the main disk is 50,000 light-years. Angular size 14.4'x12.1'.
