| Description | This is a barred spiral galaxy discovered by William Herschel on October 19, 1784. It is both a Seyfert Galaxy (suggesting AGN) and a LINER galaxy (a new type to me) whose origin is in debate between AGN or starburst. NGC 7479 does support starburst activity, and likely support sAGN, so both remain in play. Anyway, an attractive galaxy. Captured at a time when I was struggling with the color settings on my 294 camera. |
