NGC 4605 LRGB

NGC 4605 is characterized as a barred, dwarf spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa major, though I don't see much of a bar nor a spiral structure. It is a perturbed galaxy in the M 81 group, distorted by its interactions with its prominent neighbors. Its apparent magnitude is 10.9, and it is at a distance 18,000,000 light years.
