Description

NGC 7217 is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus. NGC 7217 is a gas-poor systemwhose main features are the presence of several rings of stars concentric to its nucleus: three main ones –the outermost one being of the most prominent and the one that features most of the gas and star formation of this galaxy plus several others inside the innermost one discovered with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope.

Usually shot with long focale telescop, it was a real challenge to image the galaxy with an 1150mm telescope !
