Description

Looking for a new object I could quickly capture in one night before the winds arrive. The faint halo would likely be much smoother with another 4+ hours of luminance.

"NGC 1055 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus that has a prominent nuclear bulge crossed by a wide, knotty, dark lane of dust and gas. The spiral arm structure appears to be elevated above the galaxy's plane and obscures the upper half of the bulge."
