NGC3310
NGC3310 is a very disturbed (Arp) starburst galaxy in UMA, with heavy young blue star formation around an extremely bright core. Most of the activity is tightly bound to the core area, and a prominent jet pierces the outer arm in the 10 o'clock position. NGC3310 has one of the brightest cores among galaxies and is about 59 MLY distant. The very bright core and a honking 5.5 mag star with multiple reflections to be cleaned up (can you find it?) made this a difficult one to process. Imaged with the 12.5" RCOS Truss at f9 on an ME mount using an STL6303E SBIG camera guided off-axis with the SBIG guide camera. Tru-Balance LRGB Gen II 2" filters. LRGB:480:150:180:240.
