Ngc1300

This is an image of NGC1300 located in Eridanus at about 61 million light years distance.

It is a barred face on spiral with distinctive areas of star forming regions. Off to the right is NGC1297 which is a barred lenticular spiral galaxy. Differing morphologies and each rather interesting to examine. There is also a plethora of smaller galaxies in the back ground with varying shapes.
