Hi all,

An image of NGC 1569, a dwarf irregular and very active galaxy, has been uploaded. This galaxy has a very high star formation rate. Loads of stars and star clusters are being formed. Its HII clouds (visible with an Ha filter) show such an intense signal, that the galaxy is very hard to detect. In the link below you can see the original image and a second version just obscuring a bit the Ha signal, in order to show the aspect of the galaxy. You can find these at:

NGC 1569, a dynamic galaxy

Enjoy,
Josep
