Summary[edit]

Description

A pretty interesting galaxy. This one suffers quite a bit from a lack of exposures, but at least it's discernible. It's listed in Arp's catalogue as an example of a low surface brightness spiral galaxy. It's spiral-ness seems very disturbed and it is possibly interacting with a galaxy South of the frame, PGC 35042.

The blue and green channels are somewhat close here, so the colours are a bit muted. Interestingly, North is up in this image. Also, here is a different processing.

I am immensely thankful for these wonderful archives of data.

Morphological type: SBm 

Red: WFPC2 F814W
Green: WFPC2 F555W
