Arp 213 (IC 356, UGC 2953 and others) is a spiral galaxy located approximately 53.8 million light-years away in Camelopardalis. Much like IC 342, this one is obscured by the arms of our own galaxy. Because of this, Arp added it to his Irregularities, Absorption and Resolution class.

Luminance – 24x600s – 240 minutes – binned 1x1
