NGC3115 Spindle Galaxy and Millenium Galaxy Catalogue MGC
When looking at my astropicture of NGC3115, the Spindle Galaxy, I saw a blur south of the galaxy. At first I was thinking of a camera fault but when uploading the picture in Astronometry it showed aswell a blur as a result. Interesting in fact, astronometry did not put any reference. So I started searching around and found the NGC3115 galaxy to be associated with two galaxies of which one is MGC-1-26-21, located exactly on the same spot as on my picture.
