Description

This galaxy is located angularly close to the star Iota in Centauri, which allows this beautiful composition to be obtained.

Named NGC 5102, it is a lenticular galaxy (S0), it's interesting to note that on your "disc" I was able to capture some details of what the Simbad website says is an "ionized hydrogen cloud", but which obtained a blue color in my processing. Hbeta maybe?
