Hey Hivers,
With this post, I leave for my summer break. The nights become too short and too bright, so astrophotography makes no sense. The time is used for a bigger setup update.
The Sunflower Galaxy is around 30 million light-years away from us and is located in the constellation Canes Venatici. Its diameter is around 50,000 light-years with a total mass of around 1 billion solar masses, which are assumed by its rotational speed. Its spiral arms contain an unusually large number of star-forming regions. It owes its name to these "small" nodular formations. Unfortunately, you can't see it good on my image, but you can see it well on Hubble's images.
