This galaxy’s designation is SDSSJ162702.56+432833.9 (among other, equally long and obscure identifiers)
If you’d like to know more about it, I suggest you read the proposal abstract here because I can’t explain the image without simply plagiarizing it.

After a long break from the HLA I came back to it yesterday and quite quickly came across this UVIS data for M100. Even though three filters were used, the colors came out a little flat. Still, it’s a nice galaxy. I resisted the urge to clone data into the chip gap and instead ended up with some pretty blurry, low resolution data from MAST so if you notice that blurry, odd colored line, that’s what that is.

Some of the chip gap data:
hst_05195_51_wfpc2_f555w_wf_sci
hst_05195_51_wfpc2_f439w_wf_sci
hst_05195_01_wfpc2_f439w_wf_sci
hst_05195_01_wfpc2_f702w_wf_sci
hst_05195_51_wfpc2_f702w_wf_sci
The rest was a “search preview” from the MAST search result. The preview files didn’t have proper filenames and I lost track of which ones I used.
DI Cha is part of a triple star system, though only two are apparent. This is a star in the constellation of Chameleon. It’s a young system so it still has some dust to push around which looks nice.

I felt like I could do better with this one if I tried it again. Here is the result. Old version is here. I tried to increase the overall contrast. A few bright areas became a little blown out but it’s probably more true to the appearance of the galaxy.

From our position in the universe, NGC 2903 is a big, beautiful S.

Tried to use some of the other WFPC data to give it a more dynamic range of color but it didn’t work out.

Kind of reminds me of an upside-down Sombrero Galaxy.

The target in the HLA was listed as CGCG—1600.6+4302. I have no idea what that means.
