NGC 1055 image

bw All Messages By This Member #28726 NGC 1055 is an edge-on spiral galaxy in Cetus. ?It is somewhat larger than the Milky Way galaxy and hosts a very high rate of new star formation. ?It is part of a small galaxy group and is fairly close to another similarly-sized spiral galaxy, M77. ?The edge-on view is somewhat curious in that it shows the typical dark lane of dust and cold gas to be elevated above the plane of the galaxy disk. ?This may be a result of gravitational interactions with various other galaxies in the group including M77. ? The image was captured during a 5-night period in October-November 2024 using a 12.5" PlaneWave scope and a QSI-640ws camera at f/8 from SkyPi ?Remote Observatories. ?Total LRGB integration was 16.8 hours. ? ? Thanks for looking, Bruce W.
