Description

This image is the sum of 396 60 secs unguided subs taken during the night of the 15th of may 2022 with a Newton 250 F 3.9 Orion USA  - Omegon coma corrector, primalucelab UHC filter, QHY 268M camera, on top of a Ioptron CEM60 EC. Aquisition and a very limited processing with Astroart 8 (stacking, gradient removal, stars compression). 8 flats.

NGC 5907 (also known as Knife Edge Galaxy or Splinter Galaxy) is a spiral galaxy located approximately 50 million light years from Earth. It has an anomalously low metallicity and few detectable giant stars, being apparently composed almost entirely of dwarf stars.[3] It is a member of the NGC 5866 Group.
NGC 5907 has long been considered a prototypical example of a warped spiral in relative isolation. In 2006, an international team of astronomers announced the presence of an extended tidal stream surrounding the galaxy that challenges this picture and suggests the gravitational perturbations induced by the stream progenitor may be the cause for the warp.
