ASTRO: NGC 3367

NGC 3367 is a rather small (a bit more than 2 arcminutes) galaxy in the
southern part of Leo. I "found" it in a wide field image of M95/M96, where
it was visible as a tiny but bright spiral. Transparency was not good, so it
was difficult to get enough signal.

Taken from the middle of Berlin with a Meade 10" ACF at f/7.2 on a G11
mount, SXV-H9 camera (image scale 0.74 arcseconds/pixel), 54x5 minutes for
L, 14x5 minutes R, 12x5 for G and B each (colour with 2xbinning).

Somehow this one makes me wonder if a galaxy can be drunk. It looks
like it has been into the liquor supply cabinet a bit too long and is
trying its best to look sober but can't quite manage it.

I went to add it to my Arp-like to-do list and found I'd added it two
years ago. What with my weather it will likely be another couple years
before I get to it.

You did well with this one from your location.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

Liking that one a lot Stefan!
