Description

The Nautilus galaxy, NGC 772.

There are a lot of galaxies in this image - about 12 named PGC and NGC galaxies, with many mall smaller galaxies.

You can make out the tidal tail from NGC 772 through NGC 770 (the bright elliptical galaxy just above and to the left of NGC 772), which carries on as a stream just under the two bright stars above and to the right of NGC 772. There is also an extended halo below the galaxy.
