Description

Hello friends,

This time I went in two nights for a smaller but very pretty galaxy: NGC 772 is only app. 7x5 arcmin and 10.3 mag bright. Not an easy one, but I could not stop imaging. After the first test shot and I wanted to catch it. The asymmetric shape is fascinating me. A little cutey.
It was discovered on 29.11.1785. It is about 114 Mpc away.

Please enjoy!
Rüdiger
