NGC 3184

With the moon now rising very late the next clear opportunity gave me a chance at another of Ursa Major's notable face-on galaxies before the sky began to lighten. NGC 3184 lies at a distance of 40 million light years. I managed to obtain 14 subs though the transparency was a bit variable throughout. Details: 10" f4.3 Newt. 14x 8minute exposures @ iso1600 with CLS in DSS, CS2 & XAT.
