Description

NGC3344 is a barred spiral galaxy with rings in Leo Minor, around 22.5 million light-years away. It has both an inner and an outer ring, with raised arms radiating outwards from the inner ring and there's a slightly elliptical spoke located inside.
A supernova was discovered in the galaxy in 2012.

I had to throw away 100 subs due to lack of guiding. Nevertheless, I think it turned out pretty nice.
