Galaxy NGC 1300 - unprocessed image. NGC 1300 is a "spiral within a spiral," with a 3,300 light-year long mini-spiral structure at its core.
Good Friday morning. It’s been a busy week but found some time to set up the telescope before I head to the office. Decided to do some #galaxy observations this morning. First #NGC1300. At the top of the image you can see #NGC1297 as well. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur
Stunning Hubble Space Telescope image of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1300, located 70 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. This massive galaxy, spanning over 100,000 light-years, showcases intricate details of its central bar and spiral arms, lacking a massive central black hole unlike our Milky Way. The image is one of Hubble's largest ever created of a complete galaxy.
