NGC 4236

Astrophotographer Maurycy Z captured NGC 4236, a barred spiral galaxy with uneven arms, using a C9.25 telescope over multiple nights totaling 1.5 hours of stacked exposure. The image also reveals a nearby, uncatalogued galaxy cluster. Due to the galaxy's low surface brightness and limited darkness, data was collected across several nights but was hampered by forgetting the dew shield.
