Description

NGC1055 and M77

I took this photo at the Deep South Star Gaze in Sandy Hook, MS last week. We only got one clear night, so imaging time was limited (a little over 5hrs in this shot).

NGC 1055 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus. It is about 52 million light years away from earth. - Wikipedia

Messier 77 (M77), also known as NGC 1068 or the Squid Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is about 47 million light-years away from Earth. - Wikipedia
