Summary[edit]

Description

Umbrellas and streams around an irregularly shaped galaxy. It has some of look of the makings of an elliptical galaxy. The veil of dust across the nucleus is a nice touch.

This one was a bit faint; I brightened it a bit and it looks noisier because of that. A partial shell to the west of the galaxy was not included in the Hubble image. Please check the widefield view to see that.

A widefield color view of the galaxy is available here: legacysurvey.org/viewer?ra=10.8893&dec=-4.1172&la...
