NGC 3344

An inverted Image of the spiral galaxy
NGC 3344 and its suspected dwarf companion
NGC3444 dw1, marked by arrows. The image
was obtained by G. Kerschhuber and
M. Blauensteiner based on simultaneous data
from four telescopes with a total exposure of
28.8 hours. The size of the fragment is 22′
× 16′. North
is at the top, east is to the left.
