Description

NGC 578

The last time I visited this galaxy was 17 years ago.

It is wonderful to see it again with a larger telescope and new processing techniques. You probably haven't seen this one before? I always liked it because of the remarkable (likely background) galaxy that appears in the disk of NGC 578. That is the kind of small detail that stays with me... for years. lol As is typical, the spiral arms are adorned with pink and blue star forming regions. In addition the background universe is filled with other faraway galaxies...
