Description

NGC7606 is an Sb type spiral galaxy located in the Constellation Aquarius, at a distance of 97 million light-years. It was discovered by Herschel in 1785. It must be quite large to show up so well at that distance, with the colors somewhat redened and weak due to intervening gas and dust.
