Ngc 7049

[benklerk]

NGC 7049 is a lenticular galaxy and spans about 150 000 light-years across and lies about 100 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Indus. NGC 7049's unusual appearance is largely due to a prominent rope-like dust ring which stands out against the starlight behind it. These dust lanes are usually seen in young galaxies with active star-forming regions.

NGC 7041 is a lenticular galaxy located about 80 million light-years away.

This is my first Deep field galaxy image, the light power of the 6" is limiting.

Very very nice Ben. Always love images from that RC6. I'm going to miss it when you upgrade.

Nice catch of a busy neighbourhood.....

Well done, Ben. It is pushing the data quite hard :)

Thanks guys,


I would have like to get more detail from the fainter galaxies, but with my 6" that will be a challenge to do.
