At a distance of about 40 million light years, in the southern constellation of Columba, NGC 1808 is undergoing a
significant period of star birth, with an active bright core and as such, is classified as a Seyfert spiral galaxy.
It has a modest apparent size of 6.5' X 3.5' and while the active inner regions are quite bright, the outer spiral
arms are diffuse and relatively faint. Overall it has an apparent magnitude of 10.8
