NGC 3759

Post by dcrowson »

NGC 3759 (UGC 6581, PGC 35945 and others) is an odd spiral galaxy located approximately 257 million light-years away in Ursa Major. This one appears to have faint arms that don’t show up on the survey images. I also could not find another image of this one online.

PGC 94203 is the small companion to NGC 3759.

See the annotated version for the locations of other galaxies.

Luminance – 40x600s – 400 minutes – binned 1x1
RGB – 10x300s – 50 minutes each – binned 2x2

550 minutes total exposure – 9 hours 10 minutes

Imaged February 7th and 8th, 2022 from Dark Sky New Mexico at Rancho Hidalgo (Animas, New Mexico) with a SBIG STF-8300M on an Astro-Tech AT12RCT at f/8 2432mm.
