NGC 3079

Also in Ursa Major I found the barred-spiral NGC 3079. Like the previous target(s) this was also in my floodlight affected area of sky so no benefit from anything more than 8 minute exposures. The two faint galaxies to the right are PGC 28990 & NGC 3073. Details: 10" f4.3 Newt. 12 x 8 minute exposures @ iso1600 with CLS in DSS, FIV, CS2 & XAT.
