Description

LRGB 480:95:92:125, 75% full size. One of the closer galaxies to us located in Cetus near NGC253 at about the same apparent size and distance. This galaxy sports an interesting distorted structure with a void in the northern part of its disk. The nucleus is obviously not at the visual center of the disk as well.
