Description

NGC 1140 is a dwarf irregular galaxy and is typically ignored in favor of the larger, illustrious galaxies available to gaze upon. After hours of digging through the HLA it managed to catch my attention.

You can see there are a lot of red tendrils visible only in Hα (Hydrogen-alpha).

Nerdish technical stuff follows: 

R - F658N
G - 33% F814W, 33% F658N, 34% F300W
B - F300W
