NGC3180
About this celestial object
NGC 3180 appears as a delicate galaxy patch in the deep spring sky.
NGC 3180 is a distant galaxy that is only hinted at visually—a quiet yet definite knot beyond the Milky Way.
238 exposures at about 5° object altitude and in humid air pool enough signal to make the faint glow visible.
Made with 250 mm focal length at f/5.
