Description

The "Silver Sliver Galaxy" (NGC 891) is an edge-on spiral 30 million light-years away, noteworthy for being similar to our own Milky Way.

Check out my wider-field image as well here on Astrobin; there are lots of distant galaxies in the background of this part of the sky that are fun to explore.
