Description

I was browsing Stellarium trying to find something to shoot between 8-10pm when I came across this pair of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. NGC 185 (or Caldwell 18) and NGC 147 (Caldwell 17) are satellite galaxies of M31. They have had little to no active star formation for a long time. So, we're a long way from galaxy season but here are two friends from our Local Group.
