Arp 213 (IC 356)
|
|
Arp 213 is in the class Irregularities,
Absorption, and Resolution. The Atlas note says "faint straight absorption
lanes lead toward nucleus, become triple". They are not very easy to see
in this image and only a bit easier in the Atlas image. The lane
referenced in the note is almost certainly the one leaving the core and cutting
across the spiral arms at roughly a position angle of 330 degrees (NNW).
This is, for me, an extremely beautiful galaxy and one of my best images.
