A flocculent spiral galaxy with some of our own galaxy's flocculence in front of it. If you look to the lower right corner, you can see it's a bit darker and muddy-colored. That's our Milky Way's dust.

| Description |
English: A flocculent spiral galaxy with some of our own galaxy's flocculence in front of it. If you look to the lower right corner, you can see it's a bit darker and muddy-colored. That's our Milky Way's dust. It's thick enough that it seems to completely obscure some of the distant spiral in visible light. It is difficult to tell where our galaxy ends and the external galaxy begins, which almost makes it look like it's attached.
None of the regular color surveys I usually check have contained this galaxy, but color data was kindly provided by William Keel, which he gathered using the remotely-operated SARA 24-inch telescope at Cerro Tololo in Chile.
