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

#M77 got it distinctive nickname from the image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, which reveals a filamentary, tentacle-like structure curling around its core.

This galaxy is a prime example of a #Seyfert galaxy.

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.

M77 Galaxy - Very small Taken with Seestar S50 204 x 10s

Very wee but you can zoom in and see arms.

M77 - "The Squid Galaxy"

A Seyfert Galaxy, being a one with an Active Galactic Nucleus. A very energetic core, a bit like a Quasar, powered by a super massive black hole.
