| Description | This is a mysterious looking galaxy. If you don't look carefully, it appears like a lenticular galax. But the galatic center bumps out more like a spiral, and then there's a second, tiny bright spot just off center, which would seem to be the galactic center from a dwarf galaxy. Are we looking at two generations of merger? That is, a lenticular galaxy absorbing a smaller spiral and then a dwarf? Also, what are the dark lanes at the top and bottom of then the galactic center I've been attributing to the first merger. Anyway, even though it's quite small, it's engaging and beautiful. This was my third outing with my new, Player-one Apollo-Mini monochrome camera and I started feeling comfortable with it. |
