NGC 3184 is a spiral galaxy in Ursa Major. Also known as the
Little Pinwheel Galaxy, its distinctive blue color comes from a relatively small
number of young, bright stars. The galaxy has two H II regions, NGC 3180 and
NGC 3181 (see astrometry image). I was only able to capture around 35 minutes
of data with the RASA 8 and Mallincam DS10C before the galaxy was lost in trees,
but the image is still usable.
