NGC5430 Bumble Bee Galaxy (my name for it)

 NGC 5430 is an Spiral Galaxy located in the constellation of Ursa Major (Big Bear, same as the Big Dipper Constellation). NGC 5430's distance from Earth is 129,989,624.33 light years. It is TINY to try to photograph and is only 12 magnitude in brightness. Immensely dimmer than stars seen with the unaided eye. Could we actually call this the Bumble Bee Galaxy!
