UGCA105 is an ambiguous-structured irregular galaxy positioned at 2 degrees northeast of beta Cam. A long axis of 5.5 arc minutes of the galaxy could be said as one of comparatively larger galaxies scattered around vicinity of this field. However an extraordinary dimmed outer spread is needed sufficient long-exposure to photograph. UGCA105 is lying at about 11 million light years away, belonging to the Maffei Group, neighbored of our Local Group.
