Description

The Pavo group of galaxies consists of three interacting pairs of galaxies, among others.
NGC 6872 is one of the largest known spiral galaxies with an extent of 350,000 x 99,000 light years. In the X-ray range, a 330,000 light-year-long structure can be detected between NGC 6872 and NGC 6876.

Oliver Schneider, Faried Abu-Salih and I work together as "DSI (Deep Sky Imaging) Team" at our observatory at the Rooisand Desert Ranch, Namibia.
