Sketch information:
My sketch shows NGC 3115 in Sextans (Sex). NGC 3115 is also known as the
“Spindle Galaxy”. It appears to have mostly old stars and little or no activity.
The growth of its black hole has also stopped. The stellar formation has
stopped because the interstellar matter was used up.
The object is easily found.
