NGC4449
About this celestial object
A brief look at tempestuous NGC 4449—knotty and irregular.
As an irregular dwarf galaxy, NGC 4449 shows a restless star distribution with compact, bright regions.
At 5.1° altitude, 600 seconds suffice to hint at the grainy core and bright knots—despite humid air.
At 250 mm focal length it remains small yet characteristic in the field.
