Dusty, peculiar spiral galaxy with apparently only one arm, if it can be considered an arm. One wonders if the apparent disk shape is true or merely a line-of-sight illusion. Clustered texture to the stars indicates a lot of star formation is probably going on.
Another one from Prop 15446. Couldn't find an appropriate color source for this one. DSS was about it, and that wouldn't be much better than completely artificial color. V* TW Hor, a fairly bright star, lies about 4.75' northwest (off the bottom of this frame) from the galaxy, further complicating the use of survey data.
