NGC 1055 Galaxy - telescope processed image. NGC 1055 is a massive spiral galaxy about 15% larger than the Milky Way. It spans roughly 115,000 light-years and is 52 million light-years away.

NGC 1055 Galaxy - unprocessed image. Seen edge-on, it features a prominent dark dust lane and a unique "boxy" halo, likely caused by gravitational tugs from its neighbor, Messier 77.

M77 The Squid Galaxy - telescope processed image. M77 is a barred spiral galaxy 47 million light-years away. It's the brightest Seyfert galaxy with an active core and is nicknamed the Squid Galaxy.

M77 The Squid Galaxy - unprocessed image. M77, a spiral galaxy nicknamed the Squid Galaxy, has a supermassive black hole at its core that is actively feeding, making it the closest Seyfert galaxy.

Next up on the galaxy observations is #M77 #TheSquidGalaxy. M77 is in the center of the image. At the upper right you can see #NGC1055, while on the upper left you can barely make out #NGC1072. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

Stunning image of NGC 1055 and Messier 77, two spiral galaxies in the Cetus constellation. NGC 1055 appears edge-on, contrasting with the face-on view of M77, which features a newly discovered supernova, SN2018ivc. The image also showcases foreground Milky Way stars and distant background galaxies. The field of view is approximately the size of the full Moon.

Stunning image of spiral galaxies NGC 1055 and M77 in the constellation Cetus. NGC 1055 appears edge-on, while M77 is face-on, showcasing their contrasting structures. The image also includes foreground Milky Way stars and distant background galaxies, spanning a field about the size of the full Moon. These galaxies are approximately 60 million light-years away and are dominant members of a small galaxy group.
