M102 Galaxy - telescope processed image. M102 is the most controversial Messier object; it was originally retracted as a mistake, but is now widely identified as the galaxy NGC 5866.
M102 Galaxy - unprocessed image. Seen nearly edge-on, it features a remarkably thin, dark dust lane that bisects its bright core, giving it a distinct "spindle" shape.
