magnitude of 9.3 but the light is spread out and it is a fairly challenging to get much detail in
smaller scopes. It is part of the Local Group of galaxies, and is one of the closest galaxies at 1.6
million light years. A nebular bubble can be seen at the top of the image, and there is a ring
structure faintly visible to the lower left of the bubble.
