Hi everyone,

while the weather was hanging in I turned my
sights onto something different.

Magellanic Galaxy NGC 55.

Not the best of seeing conditions but gave enough
to provide some positive results.

I now think of it as the Anchovy Galaxy.

Pics below will explain.

Thanks for looking.

Paul.

Hi Paul,

Yep, official rename paperwork is going in. :) The Anchovy Galaxy it is.

Great image, though - I do like a good image of a bright galaxy.

Cheers,
V

Nice one Paul, I see a tadpole at that stage when it's getting it's hind legs with the blobby body and fat tail.
