NGC 4236 is a barred spiral galaxy in Draco. The central bar is the most prominent feature in this image. It is about 14.5 million light years from Earth. The galaxy has an apparent width about ⅔ the size of the full moon and an apparent height of not quite ¼ the width of the full moon.

Beyond that I didn’t find a lot of reference data. It is a part of the M81 galaxy group but compared to the more well known M81 and M82 it is a lot dimmer. The galaxy appears to have very low surface brightness and also appears very blue with no obvious HII regions. Perhaps they are just too dim to register on this equipment.

In any event, it’s an interesting galaxy to look at. Between the faintness of the body of the galaxy and the brightness of the blue nebulae it was a little challenging to process.
