M77 The Squid Galaxy - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter with phone enhancement. A large barred spiral galaxy in Cetus, M77 is a prototype Seyfert galaxy with an Active Galactic Nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole.

M77 The Squid Galaxy - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. It's one of the closest and brightest Seyfert galaxies (Type II), with an extremely active core powered by a supermassive black hole.

Here is the observation for #M77 #TheSquidGalaxy from this morning. Used some extra image enhancement by the phone. On the upper right of the image you can see #NGC1055. To the upper left you can barely makenout #NGC1072. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
